Hevea Natural Baby Soothers 2 Pack - Orthodontic Teat - Oatmeal and Milky White 0-3 Months

Our summary: Hevea soothers have been a favourite of our customers for a long time now and with good reason - they don't have any seams or joins so nowhere for bacteria to lurk, they're made from natural rubber a smell babies love, and they're super cute and sustainable too!

Hevea are Danish designed pacifiers made from 100% natural rubber, which is a natural material, free from BPA, PVC and phthalates.

Babies love the smell of natural rubber and the special odour makes it easy for baby to identify and provide reassurance.

With the flattened bottom and rounded top, the orthodontic pacifiers are designed to prevent dental misalignment and orthodontic issues later in life, as baby teeth come in and eventually give way to adult teeth.

The pacifier has a silky smooth touch and is gentle on the baby’s face and teeth, but still resistant to bites.

Easy to clean in hot water and highly hygienic due to its seamless design.

The 2-pack pacifiers come in brand new packaging which is a completely eco-friendly and 100% certified compostable pouch. It’s made from sustainable kraft paper and other biodegradable materials and makes gentle green fingerprints on our planet! With the sealed closure, it can be used for storage of the pacifiers when not in use.

… just 100% natural rubber from the Hevea Brasisliensis tree. The name "Hevea" originates from the Latin name for a genus of rubber trees, Hevea Brasiliensis.

Hevea pacifiers are different from all other pacifiers because they are produced sustainably from 100% natural rubber, which is a natural sap from the rubber tree.  As natural rubber is an all natural material it can change in colour and size over time. How significant this change will be on a specific product will vary due to how hard the child sucks on the pacifier, how long it has been used, how many pacifiers the child has in use at a time (if you use only one, it will naturally be used way more than if you alter between a few), how it has been cleaned etc. Therefore when you compare a used pacifier to a new of the exact same style and size, the new one will be smaller, until it has been in use for a while. But this does not mean there is anything wrong with the product, it is simply the nature of natural rubber. Also as it is biodegradable, it needs to stay of out sunlight and moist environments to prolong its lifespan. Natural rubber can be broken down physically and/or chemically by microorganisms. 

SAFETY ADVICE:

Do not leave a soother in direct sunlight or near a source of heat, or leave in disinfectant (“”sterilising solution””) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat. In the event that the soother becomes lodged in the mouth, DO NOT PANIC; it cannot be swallowed and is designed to cope with such an event. Remove from the mouth with care, as gently as possible. Do not attach to any part of the pacifier/soother (i.e around the ring, plug or through the ventilation holes) pins, ribbons or string as these can be dangerous.

Do not tie the pacifier/soother tightly to strings, straps, tapes or similar things in the child’s clothing, as this could risk choking the child
The pacifier/soother is constructed, so that it cannot be swallowed by the child. Check daily that the pacifier/soother is in good condition. This is done by pulling on the various parts of the soother and checking that it is still in good condition. If there are splits or changes in the soother, it should be discarded. For both safety and hygiene reasons, the soother should be discarded after a maximum of two months use.
