What is the recommended age of use?
WubbaNubs are designed and recommended for babies ages 0-6 months that are not teething. Regardless of your child's age, WubbaNub pacifiers are not recommended for use once your child has begun teething.
All WubbaNubs are tested to, and meet or exceed, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's mandatory safety standard for pacifiers (16 CFR 1511) and federal requirements for children's toys (ASTM F963). The CPSC standard for pacifiers applies to all pacifiers. Our products have been tested extensively to ensure they meet federal safety requirements.
Remember to always inspect your WubbaNub pacifier before each use and discard it immediately if the nipple is enlarged or if there are any signs of cracks, tears, or excessive wear.
How do I clean the WubbaNub Lovey?
Hand washing or surface cleaning the plush with cold water and air drying works best. We do not recommend immersing in water.
What if my WubbaNub is damaged?
We believe our products will live up to your highest expectations. In the event of a damaged or defective WubbNub product, we may, at our discretion, issue a replacement. This policy does not cover ordinary wear and tear or damage caused by improper use and care or accidents, and is limited to a one-time replacement per customer.
For more information, please visit our Returns Policy page.
Is the plush animal’s fabric non-toxic?
Because of our commitment to safety, all of our dyes are non-toxic. They do not contain any lead or any type of heavy metals making them all non-AZO dyes. In addition, all of our fabrics are tested for color fastness.
Can my baby sleep with the WubbaNub pacifier?
WubbaNub pacifiers can be used under observed napping and awake sucking. We're advocates for safe sleep as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. For extended overnight sleep, use a pacifier without the plush. For more on safe sleep habits, visit our safety page.
How do I clean the WubbaNub pacifier?
Pacifier Nipple: Wash the nipple before initial use: Place the nipple portion in warm water using a mild liquid soap. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove it from heat and pour into a mug. Then place the nipple portion of the WubbaNub into the water for 2 - 4 minutes to sterilize. Allow it to cool and squeeze the nipple to release the excess water inside. Now it's ready to use!
Plush: WubbaNubs are made lovingly by hand, so hand washing is the best method to preserve quality. It is also machine washable – place the WubbaNub in mesh laundry bag, wash on gentle cycle and allow to air dry. Make sure to wash the nipple before use (see above)
Sterilizer: A moist heat sterilizer unit can also be used with the WubbaNub product.
Is the WubbaNub dryer safe?
Never place the WubbaNub in the dryer, as the heating element can affect the integrity of the silicone pacifier.
Are WubbaNubs dishwasher safe?
For sanitary reasons, we do not recommend placing the WubbaNub in the dishwasher.
Why does the WubbaNub I bought online have different packaging than the one I bought at the store?
Authentic WubbaNubs come in several types of packaging. To see the different packaging types, visit our authenticity page. For authorized retailers visit our store locator page.
Can I switch out the pacifier?
The one-piece design is what makes WubbaNub unique! The pacifier is permanently attached to the plush.
My baby has a latex allergy. Is this pacifier made of latex?
This pacifier is a latex free, 100% silicone pacifier. It is also BPA and Pthalate free.
Is there a next-stage pacifier available?
If your older infant finds comfort using a pacifier, we recommend the Philips Avent Super Soothie. Currently, we do not have a next-stage WubbaNub available. For updates on new product releases and availability, join our WubbaClub email list at the bottom of our site.
Why do some WubbaNubs have beans and others don’t?
We have removed the pellets from our product for sustainability reasons. It is possible that there are WubbaNubs on the market with pellets in the feet. If you would like to confirm the contents of your WubbaNub, please refer to the retail packaging and the label sewn into the plush animal. For more details please visit the sustainability page.
Are the beans in the limbs of the plush baby safe?
Yes! The beans are sewn in separate safety sacks within the plush. The WubbaNub conforms to the ASTM F963-96a safety code requirements and is baby safe.
Where can I get WubbaNubs with beans/pellets?
We do not have any WubbaNubs with beans/pellets in the feet left in distribution. If you would like to confirm the contents of your WubbaNub, please refer to the retail packaging and the label sewn into the plush animal. For more details, please visit the sustainability page.
Why does the color of my WubbaNub look different from the last one I bought?
WubbaNubs are made lovingly by hand, therefore it is likely there may be a variation in color and pattern.
