As well as this, the teat also features the NUK Anti-colic Air System, which allows air to flow into the bottle through the improved vent, stopping baby swallowing air and helping to prevent colic. The main focus here is given to the treatment of incorrect swallowing, which is associated with disrupted patterns of tongue movement, and correcting complicated sucking and swallowing actions.

A completely new product is the smallest bottle in the clinic range: it has a capacity of just 45ml and a measurement indicator with millimetre precision, so that the smallest amounts of breast milk or infant formula can be measured exactly. Prior to sterilisation we recommend using the NUK Baby Bottle Cleanser, its natural formula removes dried on milk protein, pulp and juice residues more effectively than hot soapy water alone. The feeling is not only pleasant for babies, the soft nipple easily takes on different shapes whilst also promoting the development of the mouth, lips and tongue. Altogether this means that the NUK First Choice Teat is particularly well accepted by babies and a combination of bottle and breastfeeding is possible without nipple confusion.

The NUK orthodontic shape and Air System have both been approved by the British Dental Health Foundation. The width of the lip rest ensures that babies have to open their mouths wide as they would at their mother’s breast. MedicPro products have been developed for many years in close collaboration with medical professionals and meet the highest quality standards.

The natural sucking reflex of babies ensures that the contrast material goes through the tube and teat into the mouth and finally reaches the stomach and intestine. At its mother’s breast, a baby learns to coordinate the movements, to strengthen its muscles and to prepare its mouth for the tasks to come - teething, chewing and, last but not least, speaking. The new, improved NUK First Choice + teats help to replicate a mother’s nipple whilst breastfeeding.These are really great teats, we bought Sterifeed bottles because we’d been given some by the hospital during a feeding issue, and decided to stick with what we knew, but our baby really wasn’t getting on with faster flow teats, and crushing/splitting Sterifeed latex premi teats. A mother's nipple adapts perfectly to a baby's mouth, that is why the new, improved NUK First Choice + teats replicate a mother's nipple whilst breastfeeding. By covering the outer cleft, the mouth cavity can be closed completely, enabling an intraoral vacuum to be created.
