Care Instructions

We know how hard it can be separate a little from their pacifier or bottle but sometimes a deep clean is necessary to keep everyone happy and healthy. If you are unsure about anything discussed below be sure to ask a caregiver for help!

Do not wash with any alcohol based cleaners may damage customization.

Pacifiers

Washing:
While pacifiers may seem like they’re all fun and games, it’s important to remember that just like a little, they require lots of attention and care. Properly storing and periodically cleaning your pacifier will go a long way towards extending its longevity and keeping it free of icky germs. Sometimes after lots of use, pacifier nipples may even become worn down or damaged. It's important to remember to inspect them often and replace them whenever necessary!
It is not necessary to disassemble a pacifier to wash it. Filling a sink with some warm water and adding in a touch of food-grade dish soap is all you need to clean things up. Put the pacifier into the water and then gently use a cloth to clean all over. Once done, rinse with fresh water and let dry for a few minutes before it’s once again ready to use!
Latex Nipples: When washing latex pacifier nipples, please note that the material may absorb some water during cleaning. This can cause the nipple to temporarily appear white or cloudy in colour — this is completely normal. Simply allow the latex nipple to air dry, and it should return to its original colour once fully dry.
Do not put pacifiers into the dishwasher as this will put stress on the nipple and cause it to gradually degrade. We also do not suggest that you boil your pacifiers. For best results, and to extend the life of a pacifier for as long as possible, only hand washing is recommended.
Storage:
When a pacifier is not being used, storing it in a safe, clean place will ensure that it’s ready to go the next time your little one needs some comfort. There are two different types of pacifier nipples: silicone and latex.
Silicone nipples are less picky and can be stored just about anywhere. However, using a pacifier storage pouch is recommended to keep the pacifier clean and also to make it easy to find or transport.
Latex nipples, on the other hand, should be kept away from sunlight and moisture as much as possible. Higher temperatures can also cause the shape of a latex nipple to slightly deform or degrade, so storing them in a temperature-controlled environment is recommended.
Replacement:
If your favorite pacifier’s nipple begins to wear out, don’t despair! We have replacement nipples available which can be swapped out to make your pacifier as good as new. We recommend periodically changing which pacifier you use, or substituting any worn-out nipples with new replacement ones.

Bottles
Regardless of what your little is drinking, you’ll want to make sure that their bottle is thoroughly washed between each use. Not doing so is a sure way to guarantee temper tantrums and fussy nap times.

Washing:
Fill a sink with warm water and add a touch of food-grade dish soap. Remove the cap from the bottle and separate all pieces. Use a cloth to thoroughly clean the top and underside of the nipple, as well as the cap if present. Fully submerge the bottle and scrub the inside. Once clean, rinse all parts with fresh water.
Note: Glass bottles can also be washed in the dishwasher. However, be cautious with any prints or designs, as these may be damaged during the dishwasher cycle. We recommend only placing clear glass bottles in the dishwasher.
Drying:
Place all parts on a clean rack and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
