Yucky pacifier issue

Summerly2Summerly2
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I noticed that a couple of DD's pacis look gross inside the nipple (we use MAMs). I've handwashed them, run them through the dishwasher and this morning I boiled them. There's still nasty stuff inside the nipple Ick! Do I just need to toss them or is there another way to clean them?

And has anyone had this issue before? Yuck.

    Gross!  I've never had that issue, but we use Nuks.  I would probably toss 'em.

    I just noticed a film on the inside of my DD's Born Free pacifiers. I put them in hot soapy water, squeezed the nipple to get water/soap in, and then squeezed it back out. I repeat it couple times, then I switch to just hot water. It worked for us!

    HTH!! :)

    DD#1 used to use MAMS and I would just toss them when they started to look gross.  After a while I couldn't get them as clean so I'd throw them out.  DD#2 uses Nuk ones and I've noticed the same thing so I think it happens to all of them over time.

    I noticed one of my DS's pacifiers (which had been missing for a while, so it wasn't like he was using it) had green stuff inside the nipple. I tossed it, because he's got more, and it would be too hard to get clean inside.

    This has happened with all the brands I've used - Mam, Avent, Nuk, Playtex....I just toss them and get new ones when they start to get gross.

    If it's just a white film, then it's probably just water that got in there and evaporated, leaving mineral/hard water deposits.

    I've had the same luck as a pp, who said she sucked in some hot water and squeezed it out.

    If it's green or black, that's mold - toss it.

    Most pacifier packages say to replace them after 3 months. So, if it's been longer than that, I'd definitely toss 'em.

    I just noticed this problem also with 1 week old pacifiers.  I wrote to the Mam company and they are sending me new ones and coupons.  The women said I did not wash them properly, but I had only sterilized them and he used them a few times as they weren't even a week old.  Send them an email and see what they say.

    Submerge them in water and squeeze them over and over... should take care of it!  I also emailed MAM and let them know...
