Product Information

If you're on the move and are looking for a portable baby steriliser, the MAM Microwave Steam Steriliser can hold up to 6 bottles and sterilise in as little as 5 minutes. This steriliser also acts as a cold water steriliser, if required. There are many different options, such as natural rubber, latex, silicone, and soft plastic," said Bryony. Here is her expert advice on what to consider, and what to look out for when choosing a dummy for your baby. Mam dummies or pacifiers can be sterilized like other dummies. Being a silicone-made dummy, it will not have any issue with boiling water sterilization or microwave sterilization process.

The most familiar type of sterilization is with a heat-based method, commonly using either dry heat or steam. If you’re constantly involved in ‘find the dummy’ hunts, the Philips Avent Ultra Soft Snuggle will help both you and your baby keep tabs on their soother – it’ll be attached to the super-cute plush animal! It’s easy to detach the dummy from the plushy for sterilising and cleaning. The toy is compatible with all Philips Avent soothers, all of which are orthodontic, durable and BPA free, helping to support natural palate development. So, what is the best way to keep your baby's dummy clean? Bryony urges: “Never clean the dummy by putting it in your own mouth.” Bryony’s advice is to clean your baby’s dummy by using one of these options: The MAM 0+/ 2-6+ Soothers are ideal up to the age of 6 months as they offer a smaller teat and shield for younger babies. The MAM 6+ Soothers are suitable from 6 months of age until one year as they provide a larger teat and shield than the 0+/ 2-6+ range but a smaller teat than MAM's 12+/ 16+ soother range. The MAM 12+/ 16+ Soothers being the largest of the MAM teats are ideal for older babies to use from 1 year of age until soother use stops. As you probably already know, you should thoroughly clean any dummy that you give your baby before its first use. With regards to MAM dummies, it’s recommended that you boil the dummy in hot water for up to 5 minutes. ConclusionBoiling: boil the soother with sufficient water in a pot for about 5 minutes. It should be completely covered by the water, and the air should be pressed out of the teat beforehand. We recommend you use a separate pot for boiling soothers. Remember to keep an eye on the water level when boiling so that the plastic does not burn on the pot!

Something else to think about when it comes to dummy design is how easy they are to keep clean. “An ‘all in one’ design, where the dummy is made from one material, may help to prevent bacteria and germ accumulation and is easier to keep clean,” Bryony advises. It is a cheap and easy way to sterilize things such as medical equipment and tools, and it is a reliable method for killing germs. Electric steam sterilisers are usually powered by a metal plate which heats to produce steam and is a highly effective way to kill bacteria without additional chemicals required. A cold water steriliser uses cold water and a sterilising solution to kill 99.9% bacteria. Some dummies come with steriliser boxes that are filled with water to the indicated level before popping the dummy in teat down, closing the box and heated in the microwave for around three minutes. Alternatively, you can buy microwave steriliser bags that work in a similar way. How to sterilise a dummy in UV As with sterilising MAM bottles, the brand’s dummies can also be sterilised using multiple methods. However, the method that we recommend to sterilise MAM dummies is to place them in the microwave as shown below. How To Sterilise MAM Dummies In The MicrowaveNatural rubbers are considered ‘non-toxic’ and also often have an ‘all in one’ design which helps to prevent tearing. Wash it with soap and hot water using a bottle brush. Repeat the rinsing process to obtain optimum results.
