BIBS Colour Latex Pacifier, round nipple, Hunter Green, 6 months+, made of natural latex with a PP shield

The BIBS Colour Latex pacifier in Hunter Green is made from latex, a material obtained from the fluid of the rubber tree (hevea). This fluid is refined to produce latex, a soft and elastic material with a texture similar to a mother's breast. It is recommended for babies from 6 to 18 months, featuring a round nipple and a design intended for the little one's comfort.

The pacifier nipple is designed with a valve that allows air to escape when the baby closes their mouth, allowing the nipple to take on the natural shape of the baby's oral cavity. The nipple is made of 100% natural latex, a soft and flexible material. 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 designed with 3 holes that allow air to circulate around the mouth. It is important to replace pacifiers after 4-6 weeks of use to maintain good hygiene and safety.

For cleaning and sterilization, proper pacifier hygiene involves frequent cleaning. The younger the baby, the more important it is to protect the pacifier from bacteria and maintain good hygiene. Before first use, the pacifier must be sterilized. Latex is a natural material that can break down at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius; therefore, latex pacifiers MUST NOT be sterilized in a microwave, steam sterilizer, UV sterilizer, or in a sterilizing solution. Sterilization involves 3 steps: place the pacifier in a clean bowl, pour boiling water over it, leave it for 5 minutes, then remove it 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.
