Philips Avent Ultra Soft Day & Night Soothers (6-18 months) – BPA-Free, Glow in The Dark, Orthodontic Silicone, 4 Pack (SCF094/10)
Product description
What it is and why parents choose it
Philips Avent Ultra Soft Day & Night Soothers are designed for babies aged 6–18 months, with a silicone teat that’s described as orthodontic and symmetrical. The key idea is comfort on the face: the shield is shaped to follow the natural contours of your baby’s cheeks to help reduce the look of marks and irritation, while also being soft and flexible.
It’s also a practical “day and night” set. You’re not just getting an extra soother—you’re getting two intended for daytime use and two for nighttime use. The night versions include a glow-in-the-dark feature, which (in real life) can be a lifesaver when you’re half-awake and trying to locate a fallen soother without turning on every light in the room.
Key features that matter day to day
A lot of soothers claim to be gentle, but this one focuses on pressure and fit. The teat has a narrow neck design intended to help reduce pressure on gums and teeth, and the overall shield shape is meant to sit more naturally on the face. On paper, that’s the kind of design detail that can make a difference if your baby is fussy about how a soother sits.
The glow option is the other standout. Instead of reaching and searching blindly, the night soothers are designed to glow softly so you can find them more easily.
There’s also a “two in one” convenience angle with the included sterilising cases. The transport/sterilising case can be used for sterilising—just add water and warm in the microwave for 3 minutes, based on the instructions described. That’s a clean routine for busy households, especially when you’re preparing for the next sleep period.
What stands out (and what to be realistic about)
Where it shines is its combination of comfort-focused design and practical everyday use. The orthodontic, symmetrical silicone teat and the soft shield approach are meant to be gentler around the face, not just “workable”.
That said, a limitation to keep in mind: the main comfort claims are about design intent (how it sits and where pressure is directed). Every baby is different—some do brilliantly with a particular teat shape, and others simply prefer a different style. If your baby has been particular about soother feel, you may still find this set suits some stages better than others.
Also, the sterilising process described relies on microwave warming and using the cases as intended. If you prefer a different sterilising method, this set may not match your routine.
Who it suits best—and who should skip it
It makes sense if you’re buying for a baby in the 6–18 months range and you want a BPA-free silicone soother set that’s tailored for day and night, including glow-in-the-dark versions for nighttime searching.
It may not be the best match if: - your baby doesn’t take to symmetrical orthodontic designs (some babies just have strong preferences) - you don’t want to use the microwave sterilising approach described for the cases - you’re after something outside a 6–18 months fit window
If you’re replacing multiple soothers and like the idea of having spares for different times of day, a 4-pack with two day and two night soothers is a sensible way to cover the common “lost / needs a clean” moments.
Box contents and practical routine example
The pack includes 4 soothers total—two for day and two for night—plus 2 transport/sterilising cases. In practice, that could look like this: after a feed (or if a soother drops on the floor), you can quickly rinse, place the soother in the sterilising case, add water as directed, microwave for 3 minutes, and then let it cool before use. When bedtime comes, the glow-in-the-dark options are there so you can spot the soother more easily during night-time searches.

Skip it if your baby is already rejecting this kind of orthodontic, symmetrical silicone teat feel, or if you don’t plan to use the microwave sterilising method the cases are designed for.
