Cleaning the inside of a MAM pacifier is effectively achieved through the recommended sterilization methods that clean the entire pacifier, including the teat interior. According to MAM, two primary methods are recommended for cleaning and sterilizing their pacifiers: boiling and using a microwave sterilization box.
Recommended MAM Pacifier Cleaning & Sterilization Methods
These methods ensure hygienic cleaning of the whole pacifier, reaching the inside parts as well.
1. Boiling Method
Boiling is a traditional and effective way to sterilize pacifiers.
- Process:
- Place the pacifier in a pot with sufficient water.
- Ensure the pacifier is fully submerged.
- Bring the water to a boil and continue boiling for approximately 5 minutes.
- Allow the pacifier to cool completely before use.
This process uses hot water and steam to clean and sterilize all surfaces, including the inside of the teat.
2. Microwave Sterilization Box Method
Many MAM pacifiers come in a self-sterilizing transport box that allows for quick microwave sterilization.
- Process:
- Follow the specific instructions provided with your pacifier box.
- Typically, you add a small amount of water to the box with the pacifier inside.
- Place the box in the microwave for the time specified in the instructions (usually a few minutes).
The steam generated within the closed box sterilizes the pacifier thoroughly, inside and out. This method is convenient and effective for cleaning the entire pacifier.
Key Takeaways
- Cleaning the inside of a MAM pacifier's teat is done simultaneously with the cleaning and sterilization of the entire pacifier.
- Always follow the specific instructions provided with your MAM product for best results and safety.
- Regular cleaning and sterilization are crucial for maintaining hygiene.
By utilizing these methods, you ensure that your baby's MAM pacifier, including the inside of the teat, is hygienically clean and safe for use.
