NUK First Choice Silicone Teat
- Size 2 Medium NUK First Choice teat has the special orthodontic NUK shape & an extra wide lip support to simulate breast feeding as closely as possible. The NUK Air System within the teat allows air to flow into the bottle though a vent. As the baby sucks, this ensures that no air is swallowed during feeding, thus helping to prevent colic. The NUK orthodontic shape & Air System have both been approved by the British Dental Health Foundation. Size 2 is suitable for 6-18 months & the medium feed hole is suitable for milk. Each pack contains 2 teats. For hygiene purposes & safety, replace the teat after 1-2 months use.NUK teats are Bisphenol A (BPA) free. Sterilise using Steam or cold water sterilisation. Do not place NUK products in the dishwasher as this can cause material damage. Also microwave sterilisation may damage the material if it is not completely dry beforeh&. The NUK Range The unique NUK orthodontic shape was developed over 50 years ago after intensive research by two German orthodontists, Professor Dr. W Balters & Dr. med. dent. A Muller. Their research found that prolonged use of conventional round teats & soothers could cause oral abnormalities like open bite. They therefore decided to develop a teat that is based on the shape of a mother's nipple during breast-feeding. By closely mimicking the sucking action of breast-feeding, NUK teats & soothers encourage the correct oral development for your baby. Because of our experience & expertise, NUK teats are used in many maternity & neonatal wards throughout the UK. In fact, NUK is currently used in over 200 hospitals, including Great Ormond Street, Alder Hey & Birmingham Children's Hospital. The NUK orthodontic teat is the only teat approved by the British Dental Health Foundation.
