WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST
THE FIRST TWO to four years are crucial to the development of the tissues, teeth and bone structure in your child’s mouth. That’s why it’s so important to see that your baby gets the best possible dummies.
RIGHT... FROM THE START
NUK’s original orthodontic soothers are designed by orthodontists to be orthodontically correct, promoting the healthy development of your baby’s tiny mouth. Most orthodontists recommend NUK before any other brand.
DESIGNED TO PLEASE
NUK dummies come in a wide range of fun designs and colours that are guaranteed to put a smile on your little one’s face. Best and most important of all is the NUK Shape – the teat of the NUK silicone and latex soothers are specially designed to mimic the shape of your nipple during breastfeeding. It is hardly surprising then to find that most paediatricians choose, or have chosen, NUK for their own children.
INVEST IN THE BEST
When you’re making a choice that will affect you and your child, invest in the best. NUK soothers promote good dental health so that you can be more confident about your child’s healthy development, now, as well as later on as they grow up.
NUK SIZE CONCEPT
NUK offers the right size soother for each age, which is something that is essential for healthy oral development. The different soother sizes should always be subject to each baby’s individual development.
NUK GETS TECHNICAL
You need to be aware that the teat of the NUK bottle also comes in different sizes in order to ensure the optimal teat for each development stage of the baby’s oral cavity. Did you know, for a baby to consume 70g of breastmilk, it takes 569 sucking motions and 53 pauses in 13 minutes. When purchasing the teat, please take note that the NUK teats have various feed hole sizes. The size of the hole in the teat influences the rate at which the baby drinks. It is very important not to confuse the size of the nipple/ bulb, which relates to the age group, with the hole size, which relates to the feed. The hole size influences the rate at which baby drinks various consistencies of feeds. The size is clearly marked on all the NUK packaging and also on the side of the teat, with “S”, “M”, “L” or “XL”. This symbol represents the hole size and will either be small, medium, large or extra-large cross-cut hole respectively. You should note that the small hole for a size ONE teat is the same size hole as that of a size TWO teat and the same goes for the other holes too.
