NUK First Choice+ Baby Bottle Teat, 0-6 Months, Silicone with Medium Feed Hole, Anti-Colic, 2 Count

Product Information

To ensure hygiene, clean thoroughly using mild washing up liquid and sterilise before every further use. In addition to cute designs, all of our NUK drinking bottles are equipped with a silicone or latex teat that is suitable for your baby's jaw. A completely new product is the smallest bottle in the clinic range: it has a capacity of just 45ml and a measurement indicator with millimetre precision, so that the smallest amounts of breast milk or infant formula can be measured exactly. Unrelenting bad habits such as grinding or clenching teeth and tongue thrusting, associated with pain and jaw cracking, can also be effectively treated.

Feeding newborns with a cleft lip or palate almost always presents its own problems: these babies find it very difficult, sometimes even impossible, to create the right type of vacuum to be able to suck. When developing the teats, we took inspiration from nature and recreated the natural shape of the mother's breast when breastfeeding.Breathing, eating, sensory perception – all these things require perfect coordination between the jaw, tongue and lips.

Replace when sticky from use, visibly damaged or showing signs of tears or bites to avoid the danger of small parts being swallowed. Always check the teat for signs of excessive wear by pulling the teat in all directions before each use especially when the child has teeth. With its soft zone, the tip of the silicone teat nestles optimally against your baby’s palate – for a natural feeling while drinking.If you discover scratches inside a bottle, you should replace it immediately with a new baby bottle. The innovative teat also minimises colics** thanks to the NUK Anti-Colic Air System that ensures a natural flow to help your baby drink without swallowing air.

NUK First Choice+ baby bottles now have a built-in Temperature Control indicator located on the bottle's graduation marks that changes colour from blue to white when the bottle's contents are too hot (above the optimal feeding temperature of 37 degrees), so you can be sure your baby's milk is always at a comfortable drinking temperature. The lightweight and unbreakable plastic material of the NUK baby drinking bottles is a good choice when on the go and promotes the learning effect when drinking, as the little ones can easily hold the weight of the bottle themselves without any danger. To sterilise bottles and teats we recommend using steam, cold water sterilisation or a NUK Steam or Microwave Steriliser. Do not leave in direct sunlight or near a source of heat, or leave the teat in disinfectant ('sterilising solution') for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat. This is because the innovative Y-opening of the teat only opens when your baby is sucking and widens depending on the sucking strength of your baby.The NUK Cleft Lip Teat was developed as a sucking aid for unilateral (one-sided) clefts with an inserted palatal plate but it can also be used, in exceptional cases, for bilateral (two-sided) clefts with an inserted palatal plate. This yellow NUK Disposable Teat is widely used in NHS hospitals thanks to its special orthodontic shape. The NUK Anti-Colic Air System reduces the risk of infant colic caused by a harmful swallowing of air. Some mention that the flow seems a lot better than other products on the market, great for a newborn baby, and fantastic for slowing the flow down. The width of the lip rest ensures that babies have to open their mouths wide as they would at their mother’s breast.
