Avent Infant Ultra Happy Pacifier 6-18 Months 2U

Directions for Use: 1. Wash the pacifier thoroughly before first use and after each subsequent use. Sterilize the pacifier by boiling in water for 5 minutes or using a Philips Avent sterilizer. 2. Allow the pacifier to cool completely before offering it to your baby. 3. Ensure the teat is facing upwards when placing it in your baby's mouth. 4. Never tie a string or ribbon to the pacifier, as this poses a strangulation hazard. 5. Regularly inspect the pacifier for any signs of damage, such as tears or cracks. Replace the pacifier immediately if any damage is found.

Recommended Frequency: The pacifier can be offered to your baby as needed for comfort and soothing. However, prolonged pacifier use can potentially affect dental development. It is advisable to consult with your pediatrician or dentist regarding the appropriate frequency and duration of pacifier use.

Additional Tips: 1. To maintain hygiene, always wash your hands thoroughly before handling the pacifier. 2. For babies over 6 months, encourage alternative soothing methods, such as offering a teething toy or cuddling. 3. Gradually wean your baby off the pacifier between the ages of 6 and 18 months to minimize the risk of dental issues. 4. Never dip the pacifier in sweet substances like honey or sugar, as this can contribute to tooth decay. 5. Store the pacifier in a clean, dry container when not in use.
