MAM Original Soother Range review

With a lightweight and sturdy construction, these MAM dummies are a fantastic pick for you and your baby, with a specially designed baby-friendly teat and even sustainably sourced materials. They're available in a wide array of colours and patterns, including three plain coloured soothers, three patterned offerings that we love, and two options each with 'I Heart Mummy' and 'I Heart Daddy' printed on them, plus many more. If you want to go the extra mile, you can even order a customised soother with your little one's name on it.

Awards

This range of soothers from MAM won Bronze for Best Product For A Newborn – 0-4 months in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. We love the classy patterns and excellent design of the soothers, and they're great value for money too. Your little one will love the soft silicone teat and you'll love the practical sterilising and carrying box that the soothers are delivered with. Read on below to find out what our testers thought!

Testing

From the moment parents unboxed the MAM soothers, it was clear that thoughtful design played a key role. One tester described it as “well-designed, focusing on comfort, hygiene, and ease of use.” The ultra-soft silicone teat stood out for many, being “gentle on the baby’s skin and promoting proper oral development,” while the “symmetrical shape fits naturally in the baby’s mouth, ensuring comfort and reducing the risk of irritation.”

One parent noted that “the size of the shield of the soother fits his face well and sits nicely under his nose and to the sides of his mouth,” which helped avoid discomfort. Another added that “the underside of the shield has raised dots to gently hold the shield in place,” preventing it from slipping and ensuring a snug fit. The shield design also received compliments for being “shaped well so it is comfortable for baby to use.”

Overall, babies seemed happy and content when using the soothers. As one parent put it, “My baby appears content using the dummies, they are lightweight, airy and BPA free, so very safe and durable, good for everyday use.” This emphasis on comfort and safety is at the heart of the range’s success.

Style matters too, especially when the soother is in your baby’s mouth day in and day out. The MAM Original Soother didn’t disappoint here either. One parent shared, “The soother's design was cute, and the gender neutral colour tones go well with different outfits,” while another added, “The vibrant designs are appealing and make the soothers more engaging for babies.”

Many were drawn to the wide selection of styles and colours available. “I absolutely love the style of these dummies,” one tester said. “The colour variations are also amazing!” It’s clear that these soothers balance practicality with aesthetic appeal.

For busy parents, easy sterilisation is essential, and the MAM Original Soother excels in this area. As one parent highlighted, “Usability is another strong point; the grip handle is convenient, and the self-sterilising box makes cleaning effortless.” The innovative design lets you “sterilise the dummies within 3 minutes in the microwave,” which is especially useful when travelling or on the go.

Another reviewer praised the hygiene-conscious design: “A standout feature is the easy-to-clean design; the soothers can be sterilised quickly in the microwave using the self-sterilising box, which is convenient for busy parents and ensures high hygiene standards.”

The thoughtful approach continues with the packaging. Several testers appreciated the built-in safety feature of the packaging, with one noting, “I like that when opening the packaging, a piece snaps off as part of a tamper-proof mechanism, so you know the packet has never been opened before, giving peace of mind.” The packaging doubles as a storage and sterilisation unit, which one parent found particularly handy: “The soothers sit well in the packaging and can be sterilised in the packet, making them very easy to use.”

Another shared, “I love that they come in a little storage container—we just sterilise and keep them in the container until they are needed, which is so handy!” This multifunctional storage solution adds yet another layer of convenience for parents.

Final verdict

The MAM Original Soother Range offers a winning combination of comfort, hygiene, and style. With standout features like the ultra-soft silicone teat, skin-friendly design, vibrant and versatile colour options, and a self-sterilising storage box, it’s easy to see why so many parents would recommend it. As one reviewer put it, “It’s extremely convenient, safe, and stylish—everything you want in a baby soother.”

Whether you're looking for a reliable dummy for newborns or toddlers, MAM delivers a thoughtful and high-quality solution designed with both babies and parents in mind.
