• Hypoallergenic materials – made from medical-grade, bpa-free silicone and safe plastics to minimize the risk of allergic reactions or skin sensitivity.
• Clinically proven mild and gentle design for baby’s delicate skin, with extra airflow to help reduce moisture build-up around the mouth (as per Philips Avent Ultra Air line positioning; exact clinical study details not provided).
• Skin-friendly, smooth-edged shield designed to sit comfortably on baby’s cheeks and reduce pressure points.
• Orthodontic, symmetrical nipple that supports natural tongue placement and jaw development, helping to promote healthy oral development.

Free From Harsh Chemicals:

• Dye-free nipple – the silicone teat is clear and free from artificial colorants (shield designs may vary in color, but nipple remains dye-free).
• Sulfate-free – no sulfates, as this is a solid device, not a cleansing product.

• Easy to clean and sterilize – can be boiled, used in sterilizers, or washed in the dishwasher (top rack), helping parents maintain high hygiene standards with minimal effort.
• Includes a snap-on hygienic cap to protect the nipple from dirt and germs when stored in a diaper bag, crib-side, or stroller, ideal for travel and outings.
• Supports bonding and soothing routines between parent and baby by providing a reliable comfort tool during naps, bedtime, and daily activities.

How to Use:

• Step 1: Before first use, sterilize the Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifier by placing it in boiling water for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool completely and gently squeeze the nipple to expel any trapped water.
• Step 2: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them before handling the pacifier to maintain good hygiene.
• Step 3: Gently place the pacifier into your baby’s mouth with the nipple facing upwards and the shield resting comfortably against baby’s cheeks.
• Step 4: Ensure the shield sits flat and securely but comfortably on baby’s face; do not press too hard. The large air holes should remain unobstructed to allow airflow.
• Step 5: After each use, clean the pacifier with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry. You may also use a sterilizer or boiling method regularly as per manufacturer guidance.
• Step 6: Store the clean, dry pacifier in its snap-on hygienic cap when not in use, especially when traveling or keeping it in a diaper bag.
• Step 7: Inspect the pacifier before every use. If you notice any cracks, tears, stickiness, or other signs of wear, discard and replace it immediately. For optimal hygiene and safety, replace pacifiers approximately every 4 weeks.

Suitable For:

• Age Range: Specifically designed for babies aged 6–18 months, ideal for growing infants and young toddlers transitioning through different stages of oral development.
• Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including delicate, sensitive, and irritation-prone skin around the mouth, thanks to the ultra air ventilation design.
• Use: Appropriate for daily use, daytime soothing, nap time, bedtime, travel, and outings. Can be used as part of a calming routine to help settle baby before sleep or during fussy periods.

Parent Tips:

• Keep at least two clean Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifiers on hand so you can quickly replace a dropped or soiled one, especially at night or when outside.
• Use the pacifier as part of a consistent soothing routine, such as after feeding, during cuddles, or before naps and bedtime, to help baby associate it with calm and comfort.
• Avoid dipping the pacifier in sugary liquids or honey, as this can harm baby’s teeth and increase the risk of tooth decay and other health issues.
• Introduce the pacifier after breastfeeding is well established (if breastfeeding), to reduce the risk of nipple confusion and support successful feeding.
• Use a pacifier clip designed for safety (short length, breakaway clasp) instead of tying the pacifier with a string or ribbon, which can pose a strangulation hazard.
• If baby frequently develops redness around the mouth, ensure the pacifier and surrounding skin are kept clean and dry, and take advantage of the Ultra Air design by not covering the air holes.
• Gradually limit pacifier use as your child approaches the upper end of the recommended age range, in consultation with your pediatrician or dentist, to support long-term oral health.

Safety Information:

• Tested by pediatric and child-safety standards for baby products; designed to meet international safety regulations for pacifiers (specific certification details not listed on this page).
• For oral use only; do not modify, cut, or enlarge any part of the pacifier, as this may compromise safety and increase choking risk.
• Always inspect the pacifier before each use. If the nipple shows signs of wear, stickiness, cracking, or tearing, or if the shield is damaged, discard immediately.
• Never tie the pacifier around your baby’s neck or attach it with long cords, ribbons, or strings, as this can cause strangulation. Use only short, safety-approved pacifier clips if needed.
• Do not use the pacifier as a teething toy. If your baby is teething, provide appropriate teething products designed for chewing.
• Keep spare, unused pacifiers stored in a clean, dry container away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can degrade the materials.
• If the pacifier becomes lodged in the child’s mouth, stay calm and gently remove it. The shield is designed to be too large to be swallowed, but always check baby and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
• If any signs of skin irritation, allergic reaction, or changes in baby’s oral tissues appear, discontinue use and consult your pediatrician or pediatric dentist.
