Latex or Silicon Nuk Teats
The orthodontic Nuk teats are designed with a slender underside this encourages the ‘milking action’ which will help jaw and palate development, also helping to widen the jaw ready for tooth development with correct spacing.
Nuk teats are equipped with an 'air system' - this allows trapped air to escape from the inside the bottle rather than mixing with the milk and being swallowed by baby. It is when baby swallows air that colic and other discomforts upset baby.
The Nuk teats have a vent in the top of the teat (this must be placed in a position under baby’s nose) this allows the air to escape keeping the teat inflated for continuous feeding and pointing the feeding hole to the top of babies mouth ensuring that the milk mixes with saliva for better digestion.
Teats come in two sizes in a range of flow rates, size 1 is for newborn babies size 2 from around 6 months, with small medium and large holes, the teats are all clearly marked on the collar to the teat and hole size.
