• Sterilise the dummy by putting it in a small bowl

• Pour boiling water over it 

• Let them soak for 1-2 minutes, then let them air dry on a clean tea towel 

• Use the tea towel to squeeze out any excess water 

 

Make sure that the dummy has cooled off completely before use 

A tip for when your child is older than 3 months 

Once your child is older than 3 months you can clean the dummies by placing them in a colander and pouring boiling water over them. This method is faster and you avoid water getting into the dummy nipple.  

 

VERY IMPORTANT!

Replacement of dummies:

For hygienic reasons, Byhappyme recommends replacing your dummies approx. every 4-6 weeks. Do not use a dummy that is damaged or is showing signs of wear and tear. Be aware that latex can expand significantly over time. 

Can the dummies be put through the dishwasher?

Byhappyme strongly advises against putting dummies through the dishwasher as this can damage the material. In addition, the dummies must also be properly sterilised which requires higher temperatures than a dishwasher typically reaches.

How do I clean a dummy? Can I use UV, a microwave or a steriliser? 

Byhappyme advises against using a steriliser for latex dummies. Latex is a natural material and the steriliser can accelerate the aging process. 

Byhappyme recommends sterilising dummies gently. Place the dummies in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them soak for 1-2 minutes. Remove them from the water and squeeze out any excess water from the nipple. Leave to air dry before use. 

Silicone dummies can be cleaned using either UV, the microwave or a steriliser. Important! Always make sure the dummy has cooled off completely before use. 

There is water inside the nipple after cleaning - why is this?

There will often be water inside the dummy nipple after sterilisation. The excess water can be removed by squeezing on the nipple. If there are just a few droplets left inside the nipple you can just let it air dry.
Important! Always make sure that the dummy has cooled off completely before use.

Why does the dummy make noises when in use?

Occasionally a dummy can emit some noises after it has been sterilised. This is normal and the sound will disappear again shortly.
