Do not leave in direct sunlight or near a source of heat, or leave the teat in disinfectant ('sterilising solution') for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat. The hole in the teat is not at the tip and not at the tip: this means food stays in your baby’s mouth longer so that it can mix better with the saliva – an important requirement for healthy digestion. Right after the birth you can do a lot for healthy jaw development: while breastfeeding, a child learns the right sucking-swallowing movement –the basis for later learning stages. Prior to sterilisation we recommend using the NUK Baby Bottle Cleanser, it’s natural formula removes dried on milk protein, pulp and juice residues more effectively than hot soapy water alone. First and foremost a soother is something to be sucked and so it can make your baby stronger, give comfort and most of all have a calming effect.

This bottle is the ideal choice for combined feeding* as the NUK orthodontic teat simulates the shape of a mother's nipple during breastfeeding which gives baby a natural and familiar drinking sensation. Babies should not be dressed too warmly – an additional blanket is normally unnecessary – and the room should be aired regularly. NUK disposable teats may fit other brands of bottle, however, whilst the thread diameter is standard, thread depths can vary and it may not be possible to fully tighten the teats on certain bottles. The orthodontic NUK shape, combined with the NUK First Choice extra wide lip support, makes it easier to alternate between breast and bottle feeding.Always dismantle the bottle for boiling or steam-sterilising (temperature above 80°C) into its component parts and leave it open, otherwise deformation may result. Constant sucking on bottles containing drinks, puree or sweet fruit and vegetable juices can cause tooth decay. The NUK First Choice+ 6-18mths Silicone Teat features a Medium size feed hole which is suitable for milk and formula.

There are numerous studies worldwide in which the danger to health caused by the intake of Bisphenol A (BPA) is explored. A teat that is right for the jaw – shaped like a mother´s nipple – can also help babies suck and drink properly.

From time to time, babies should be picked up and burped during feeding, because any air that has been swallowed can then come up and escape. The NUK First Choice + teat features the special, orthodontic, asymmetrical NUK shape, an extra wide lip support and new extra soft tip to fit baby's mouth perfectly, simulating breastfeeding as closely as possible - so true to nature that most babies hardly notice the difference.
