What are the Bibs pacifiers?

Bibs pacifiers are baby pacifiers that are made of natural rubber and are BPA-Free. These unique features make Bibs pacifiers approved and highly recommended by doctors and orthodontists.

On the other hand, Bibs pacifiers imitate natural mother breasts in shape and touch thus they have an incredibly soothing effect to calm newborns.

Besides these pacifiers are safe and easy to clean which makes them the perfect choice for you as a parent and allows your baby at the same time to naturally exercise his innate sucking instinct safely without any risks of germ contamination or choking.

What is the importance of boiling bibs pacifiers?

Sucking is an innate instinct in all babies that helps them self-soothe sleep and relieves toothache. For this reason, bibs pacifiers are considered a blessing at this level.

However, as a parent, you know that accidents always happen especially when these pacifiers hit the floor, tabletop, or car seat and get contaminated with dirt and germs.

These unresolved accidents will eventually make your baby ill or cause thrush, white patches, and uncomfortable sores in his mouth, and then pacifiers will be a curse rather than a bliss!! 

But do not worry since maintaining good hygiene of your baby’s pacifier will resolve the dilemma and is very important to your baby’s health since his immune system is not yet fully developed to provide him with sufficient protection against pathogenic germs and bacterial infections.

For these reasons, boiling has been traditionally used by moms all over the world as being an effective, fast, and easy method to sterilise baby’s bibs pacifiers and protect your newborn, baby, or infant from undesired risks.

When should you boil Bibs pacifiers?

Due to the weak immune system of newborns, premature infants, and babies up to 3 months, babies at this age are highly vulnerable to bacterial infections and other diseases.

Therefore it is recommended that the bibs pacifiers be boiled to maintain good hygiene before their first use and that means once you take them out of the packaging.

Besides, it is advised to boil these pacifiers more often for newborns, premature infants, and babies up to 3 months every time it hits something than for babies of 3 months and above.

However, you may reduce the frequency of boiling Bibs pacifiers once your baby has started the “oral phase” and diverse things are entering his mouth such as mini spoons, food, and baby bottle nipples since then cleaning with hot water and detergent will be sufficient.
