About this deal
children who go to sleep with a soother have a much lower risk of cot death. However, the specific reasons for this have not yet been completely researched. NUK Teats are only manufactured in two sizes: size 1 for infants from 0 to 6 months, size 2 for babies over 6 months. Silicone teats should only be used up to 18 months because babies’ first teeth can damage the material. In addition, at this age, children usually want to drink on their own – and this is why we recommend using NUK Cups with drinking spouts. Temperature of the contents of the bottle makes it change colour: if the food is too hot, the normally blue indicator will turn white Whether a natural product or a special synthetic material, all NUK Teats are soft and adapt to the inside of a child’s mouth. Of course you can also switch between teat materials. In case you are unsure of which material is better for your child, you can let your child decide too: many accept only the one but not the other.
Our demands for high quality are shown in our uncompromising choice of raw materials, product safety, environmental impact and constant quality control. Based on its own studies and scientific findings, NUK regularly optimises its product range. That is why we gave up using polycarbonate (PC) with its BPA content in our bottle production considerably long before the legal ban. Here is where you can find what you need to know about this topic. However, at NUK, we reacted early on to the apprehension of parents and switched the complete production of soothers to BPA-free materials, for example, polypropylene (PP). Do not heat this product. Microwaving these teats will damage the plastics and create a potential choking hazard. Not for resale. Features To sterilise bottles and teats we recommend using steam, cold water sterilisation or a NUK Steam or NUK Microwave Steriliser. We do not recommend dishwasher sterilisation as this can cause material damage.For decades, NUK has studied the shape of teats in every detail, developed it further and continuously adjusted it based on the latest medical findings. This has resulted in the healthy training of all mouth functions and as natural a sensation as possible. Hygiene Talk to your child: explain why it is time to give up using a soother – for example, because your child is getting too big or because the soother is old and tired. Yes. Since 1st June, 2011, the sale of baby bottles containing BPA has been prohibited in all countries of the European Union. This means that bottles containing BPA are not allowed to be sold. This precise asymmetric shape has, to this day, been taken as a model for all NUK Teats and Soothers and has resulted in NUK being a key supplier to children’s hospitals throughout Europe.
Every material has its own characteristics. That is why NUK offers you numerous alternatives to PC. For example: Polyamide are synthetic materials with a high level of transparency, which it retains by being chemical-resistant – discolouring and clouding are a thing of the past. Polyamide is BPA-free, but not suitable for the microwave however. The main difference is that latex is a natural product whereas silicone is synthetically produced. As a result, both materials have their own special characteristics.Carefully read warnings and instructions inside. Please retain product information and article/ LOT no. for future use.
