How to sterilize pacifiers
Sterilize each pacifier before first use:
- Put the pacifiers in a clean bowl
- Pour them with boiling water
- Let the pacifiers soak for approx. 5 min
- Pick them up and let them dry
- Be sure to squeeze excess water out of the seat part when the nipple is sufficiently cooled
Caution!
We often receive inquiries from parents who have followed the National Board of Health's recommendation to cook the pacifier for 5 minutes before first use and daily afterwards. The result is broken pacifiers. DO NOT STERILIZE BY BOILING. They are not meant to be boiled and are therefore destroyed by the high heat.
Instead, follow the instructions above, and you are sure to kill the bacteria without compromising the durability of the pacifier.
How often should it be cleaned?
- 0-3 months: The pacifier must be sterilized every time it has been on the floor. In addition, the pacifier must be sterilized at least once a day.
- 3+ months: Rinse the pacifier once a day and rinse it under the cold tap if it has been on the floor.
