Age: 0-6M Stage 1 Named for its function, the Cutie PAT is a pacifier and teether in one. The pacifier side was created to soothe an infant/baby, and the teether portion was developed to aid with teething relief.  The Cutie PAT Slant is for babies without teeth that offers a slanted nipple. The slant at the end of the nipple is soothing to many babies since it provides more tongue movement. Care Before first use, sterilize the pacifier in boiling water for 3 minutes and let air dry. Before each use, wash with warm water and mild soap. Dishwasher safe (top rack only).   Safety At Ryan & Rose our #1 priority is safety. All Cutie PATs products are rigorously tested and CPSC compliant.
