NUK Teat First Choice Teat 6-18 M Silicone, 2 units

The NUK Air system minimises the risk of painful colic that occurs when the baby swallows air.

The parts that make up a soother are:

• Teat, which is the flexible part and intended to be inserted into the mouth.
• Disk, or protective shield for the soother, which is the structure at the back of the teat, and must be large enough to reduce the likelihood of the soother getting into the child's mouth and thus prevent it from being swallowed.
• Ring, or device to facilitate the handling of the soother. It may be integrated into the disc or be a separate element, attached to the disc or to the obturator.
• Shutter, fixes the teat to the disc and is located inside the neck of the teat.
• Obturator cover, prevents open access to the obturator.

- Use should not begin before 15 days of age, until breastfeeding is well established, and should be discontinued before one year of age.

- It is recommended that use be restricted from 8 months and discontinued at one year of age. However, although dummy use decreases with age, around 15-20% of children continue to use it at 3 years of age.

- The soother can be used to soothe the infant, but should not be used every time the infant cries and should be removed after about 10 minutes.

- Special care must be taken with the state of conservation and hygiene, sterilising them periodically and renewing them when the teat is deformed, the material is sticky or cracks appear.

- Do not impregnate them with sweet substances, as this favours the appearance of caries.

- It is not advisable to use chains to hang the soother around the baby's neck, to avoid possible accidents. It is preferable to attach it to clothing or to the cot using approved chains and ribbons, with safety clasps.

The different teat sizes should correspond to the individual development of each child:1: 0-6 months2: 6+ months

• S: small opening for light liquids such as breast milk, tea or water.
• M: medium hole for milk
• L: large orifice for thicker foods.
