NUK 300ml Disney First Choice Bottle with Size 2 Silicone Teat (Red)

Colour:Red To ensure that feeding by bottle replicates feeding as closely as possible, NUK took a mother’s as their model when designing the NUK orthodontic teat shape. The unique NUK orthodontic shape was developed over 50 years ago after intensive research by two German orthodontists. Their research found that prolonged use of conventional round teats and soothers could cause oral abnormalities. They therefore decided to develop a teat that is based on the shape of a mother’s nipple during -feeding. By closely mimicking the sucking action of -feeding, NUK teats and soothers encourage the correct oral development for your baby. NUK teats are used in many maternity and neonatal wards throughout the UK. In fact, NUK is currently used in over 200 hospitals, including Great Ormond Street, Alder Hey and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. The NUK orthodontic teat is recommended by 93% of paediatricians and 87% of midwives and is the only teat approved by the British Dental Foundation. Why is the NUK orthodontic shape so special? 1. It encourages the sucking action which is important for current jaw development. To help with the birthing process, all babies are born with under-developed jaws. The mouth, tongue and jaw muscles are then developed by the natural sucking action used in -feeding, which makes the baby ‘work’ for his feed. By developing these muscles correctly, there will be sufficient space for correct development of the teeth. It is this natural sucking action that the NUK teat mimics, so feeding from a NUK teat will encourage y oral development. 2. It replicates the shape of mother’s nipple when it is inside baby’s mouth making sw between and bottle easier. During feeding, the nipple is elongated. It is this elongated nipple shape that the NUK teat mimics, ensuring babies suck on the NUK teat in the same way as they suck on the nipple. The NUK teat gives an airtight suction and a flattened area to press with their tongue in the same way a nipple does. This special orthodontic shape is found on all NUK teats and soothers. Features of the NUK Teat a.The flat underside of the teat ensures correct positioning of the tongue, encouraging the milking action that helps to widen the jaw. b.The angled surface supports the upper lip and acts as an anchor for the milking action of the lower jaw just like the ariola. c.NUK Air System: All NUK teats have an air vent on the upper side which compensates for the difference in air pressure in the bottle. This helps to prevent the teat collapsing and the baby swallowing harmful air, which helps prevent colic. d.The feed hole is directed upwards so milk is directed towards the infant’s palate and mixes with saliva to aid good digestion. e.The slender neck allows for an airtight sucking action and helps prevent the swallowing of air and the common problem of colic in feeding infants NUK Sizes and Feed-Holes NUK teats and soothers are available in different sizes, making sure they encourage the correct oral development for your baby at any age.
