Entreprenurial flair has proven to be child’s play for one Irish mother after she created the world’s first pre-sterilised soother.

Mother-of-two Ann Marie Durkin from Longford said: ‘The idea came to me when I was in hospital having my second child — there was so much work involved with a new baby i just thought a ready-sterilised soother would make life less stressful.’

Steri-Soother™ is free from bacteria and eliminates the need for parents to sterilise the soother for its first use.
