1. Boiling Sterilization
Always sterilize brand-new pacifiers and bottle nipples by boiling them before their first use to remove any residue from the manufacturing process.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
- Place the pacifiers/bottle nipples into the boiling water, ensuring they are fully submerged and not touching the sides of the pot.
- Boil for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove them using tongs or a slotted spoon and place them on a clean towel to air dry.
- Once cooled, squeeze out any excess water from the nipple valve.
❗️This method is suitable for both latex and silicone pacifiers/bottle nipples but should be used for first time use only. In rare cases, latex may transfer onto the pacifier shield during the initial boiling process. This typically happens if too many pacifiers are boiled at once and rub against each other, or the side of the pot. To prevent this, we recommend always boiling pacifiers one at a time.
