BIBS Colour Latex Pacifier, round nipple, 6 months+, Bubblegum, 100% natural latex, PP shield

The BIBS Colour Latex pacifier in the shade Bubblegum is made of latex, a material obtained from the fluid of the rubber tree (hevea). This fluid is refined to obtain latex, an elastic and soft material, similar in texture to a mother's breast. The round nipple takes on the natural shape of the baby's oral cavity and is recommended for ages 6 months and up.

The pacifier nipple is designed with a valve that allows air to escape when the baby closes their mouth, and the nipple is made of 100% natural latex. The flexible shield around the nipple has a slightly concave shape to minimize contact points with the baby's skin. The shield is made of PP and is designed with 3 holes that allow air circulation and contribute to comfort during use.

Pacifier hygiene is important: the younger the baby, the more important it is to protect the pacifier from bacteria and maintain good cleaning. Before the first use, the pacifier must be sterilized. Latex is a natural material that can break down at temperatures above 100°C; therefore, latex pacifiers MUST NOT be sterilized in a microwave, steam sterilizer, UV sterilizer, or in sterilization solution.

Sterilization involves three simple steps: place the pacifier in a clean bowl, pour hot water over the pacifier and leave it for 5 minutes, then remove the pacifier onto a clean napkin and let it dry. If water has entered the inside of the nipple through the valve, use the napkin to press the nipple until the water is expelled. It is recommended to replace pacifiers after 4-6 weeks of use.
