Stay safe on the go

Getting out and about? Keeping your baby's dummy
hygienically clean will help her stay healthy and happy

There are lots of essentials you need to remember when you're heading out with your baby for the day. While half of your changing bag is packed with things to eat, play with or wear, the other half will be full of things to clean up with, because where there's a baby, there's usually a mess not far behind. And keeping everything germ-free is high on the priority list – particularly things that end up in her mouth, like a dummy.

Beat the bugs

Soothers can easily become breeding grounds for bacteria, as they spend most of their time in warm, moist places and come into contact with various things other than babies' mouths, usually the floor. In fact, they can harbour a multitude of germs if not cleaned properly.

Mini marvel

That's why the new Milton Mini portable soother steriliser should be the newest addition to your keep-clean kit. The mini miracle eliminates harmful germs, viruses and bacteria by sterilising in just 15 minutes, and keeps dummies sterile in the solution for 24 hours – plus, there's no need to rinse before using. All this and it can be conveniently strapped to your pushchair and looks great, too.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Before leaving home, simply fill the Milton Mini with cold water and add one Milton Mini Sterilising Tablet. Put the sponges in and place the soother into the Mini. Screw the watertight lid on, this ensures full contact between the soother and the Milton sterilising solution. After only 15 minutes, the soother is sterilised and ready to use. It's perfect for every busy mum.
