A mother's nipple changes shape during breastfeeding. It adapts to the baby's mouth, enabling optimal food intake and providing the best possible training for the jaw, palate, tongue and lips.Nowhere else in the body are there as many muscles and nerves as in the mouth with oral development closely linked to a baby´s overall development. This is why NUK developed the first teat shape that is right for the jaw. The NUK Anti-Colic Air System equalises the pressure in the teat which helps reduce colic as less air is swallowed.
Difference between latex & Silicone teats:
NUK latex teats are made from rubber milk or latex, a high-quality natural material. Latex is particularly durable - it is very elastic and highly resistant to any pulling or tearing. However, because latex is a natural material, the fat contained in food can cause it to age. Direct sunlight will also cause it to age, quicker than normal in fact, which is why latex teats should be stored carefully. The general rule of thumb: A latex teat should be replaced every 1 to 2 months, at the latest when it starts to get sticky.NUK silicone teats are made from a high-quality synthetic material. The clear silicone material is particularly resistant to temperature. Direct sunlight and fat also have no effect on the aging of the material. However, it can be more easily damaged. A silicone teat must be immediately replaced after the first bite marks or any other faults become apparent. For hygiene reasons, it is recommended you replace the teats every 1 to 2 months.The material you decide to use depends on your individual requirements or preferences. And, of course, it is also possible to switch between the two materials. Should your baby refuse the new latex teat because of how it tastes, simply boil it for three minutes in milk first! However, while this will neutralise the taste, it will also age the teat quicker than usual due to the fat content in the milk.Please note - Clearance items are not returnable so please choose carefully
