melting fruit :-(, 10 Feb. 2011

On first receiving the fruity teether I was very happy. It looked sturdy, colourful and above all practical for teething babies. This because it has various textures which will give baby different nibble surfaces and it's quite easy to grasp for tiny hands. However I try to sterilise all that goes into baby's mouth, including this teether and it was quite a disaster. All the fruity bits have melted and they've shrunk as well. Granted the instructions don't menton sterilisation, but one would imagine this is one of the first requirements of a teether. In short it looked very nice but is not very useful as it's now a colourful blob.

On relection I'm not sad. It was not an expensive product and it doesn't say it's BPA free anyway. I won't buy any other Learning Curve products though as a result of this, because a company should get the right. Like teether => needs sterilasation.

FYI: microwave steriliser, 6 min

Company can improve product by:

add BPA info and cleaning...

Should have read the reviews re: sterilising!, 25 Jun. 2012

As per the other reviews, the product melted when I sterilised it. I'm not hugely fussy about sterilising now baby's putting just about everything in her mouth but I would have thought a product designed specifically to go in a baby's mouth would be sterilizer proof! I'm going to try to get a refund as there were no instructions provided but not very optimistic!

Teether cannot be sterilised, 13 July 2012

Need I say more - wish I'd read the other reviews first! This melts into a blob if you try to sterilise it - which clearly you need to do. Would not recommend!
