However, many mothers may not know that you can sterilize the MAM baby dummies with the microwave, and it is very convenient and practical. Wash it with soap and hot water using a bottle brush. Repeat the rinsing process to obtain optimum results. MAM's range of dummies offers both latex and silicone, which both have substantial benefits as soother materials. Silicone does not age, has no taste and is slightly harder than latex. Latex is the more bite resistant of the two, with silicone, which although bite-resistant must be thrown away as soon as the first bite marks appear. If you think your baby may need a soother material that is more bite-resistant then maybe latex would be the better choice for you!
