One of the oldest materials known to man is also used by NUK in the production of baby bottles. Glass is particularly hygienic and heat- resistant. In this process, NUK uses only borosilicate glass, which, with its cross-linked surface structure, wears well and withstands variations in temperature. Do not heat this product. Microwaving these teats will damage the plastics and create a potential choking hazard. Not for resale. Features A screw ring that fits all the standard baby bottles usually used in hospitals and at home is included. The four soother sizes only refer to the Genius – it is the first soother with a size for particularly delicate and light newborns from 0 to 2 months old. The 0-6 months, 6-18 months and 18+ months refer to all NUK Soothers. Knowing exactly when baby's feed is at the right temperature can be a challenge. NUK First Choice+ baby bottles now have a built-in Temperature Control indicator located on the bottle's graduation marks that changes colour from blue to white when the bottle's contents are too hot (above the optimal feeding temperature of 37 degrees), so you can be sure your baby's milk is always at a comfortable drinking temperature. 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. The innovative teat also minimises colics** thanks to the NUK Anti-Colic Air System that ensures a natural flow to help your baby drink without swallowing air.

To sterilise bottles and teats we recommend using steam, cold water sterilisation or a NUK Steam or NUK Microwave Steriliser. We do not recommend dishwasher sterilisation as this can cause material damage.

The product range for alternatives without BPA is wide. Precisely which materials they are, we explain for you here: Over 60 years ago two dental health practitioners, Prof. Dr.Balters and Dr. med. dent. Müller, discovered that the female nipple changes its shape during feeding, thus ensuring an optimal coordination of all the muscles of the mouth and jaw. This yellow NUK Disposable Teat is widely used in NHS hospitals thanks to its special orthodontic shape.

NUK develops products to help children’s healthy development. That is why we attach the greatest importance to the safety of the materials used and test NUK Products thoroughly to see that they are harmless before they come onto the market. Here you can find out everything about our new materials and the properties they have. The NUK 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.

When the bottles are scratched inside, you should replace them, as germs can settle in the scratches more easily.NUK Baby Bottles are made from different materials. The greatest tangible difference is between glass and plastic – both materials are very suitable for baby formula and breast milk. Here you can find some points to help you make your decision. The NUK First Choice + size 1 small feed hole 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. Tip: so that you and your child can be happy with the plastic bottles for a long time, we would recommend that you do not warm up or disinfect the bottles in the microwave. NUK Baby Bottles are well suited to being boiled and sterilised with steam. Includes Size 1 (0-6m) Latex Teat with Medium Feed Hole. Latex is softer and more flexible than silicone which can make it easier for some babies to adapt to, it is also more bite resistant 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. Made out of high-quality polypropylene, it offers the optimal way to feed premature and newborn babies.

Polypropylene is a translucent, synthetic material, which is used by NUK for the manufacture of BPA-free baby bottles. Its smooth surface ensures that it is pleasant to touch. It is notably shatterproof and is even suitable for freezing. Bottles made from polypropylene have a milky transparency, are particularly sturdy and can even be used for freezing food. Baby bottles made from polyamides look the most like glass bottles as they are highly transparent. Both synthetic materials are of course BPA-free.Glass is the classic material for drinking containers – and also for baby foods. Today, with its higher scratch resistance, glass is a particularly resiliant and environmentally-friendly material. NUK only offers products made from borosilicate glass, which, with its cross-linked surface structure is particularly heat-resistant. Thanks to the high level of transparency of the glass you can easily see if there is any milk or other residue still there when cleaning the bottles. The high heat-resistance means you can clean the glass baby bottles as often as you like and even boil them. And should you give older children tea or juice in them, then the glass of the bottle does not discolour. Suitable for combination feeding* - the extra wide lip support simulates breast feeding as closely as possible NUK Silicone Teats are made from a high-quality synthetic material. The clear silicone material is easily cleaned and highly heat-resistant. Even direct sunlight or edible fats do not age the material. Silicone teats have a neutral taste and smell. However, silicone is slightly less bite and tear-resistant than latex. For this reason, NUK also uses firmer, more bite-resistant silicone material for the size 3 teat. Should a silicone teat have even small bite marks or other signs of damage, it should be replaced immediately. For reasons of hygiene and safety, it is generally recommended to replace all teats – whether latex or silicone – after 1-2 months. For safety and hygiene purposes we recommend that you replace teats after 1-2 months of use or whenever they start to show signs of wear. 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. For decades, NUK has studied the shape of teats in every detail, developed it further and continuously adjusted it based on the latest medical findings. This has resulted in the healthy training of all mouth functions and as natural a sensation as possible. Hygiene

This precise asymmetric shape has, to this day, been taken as a model for all NUK Teats and Soothers and has resulted in NUK being a key supplier to children’s hospitals throughout Europe.Equipped with the NUK Anti-Colic Air System which helps to equalise air pressure inside the bottle, reducing the risk of baby swallowing air and thus infant colic. NUK offers baby bottles made out of the synthetic materials polypropylene (PP) andpolyamides (PA). They are particularly light and nearly unbreakable and with that, optimally-suited for use both at home and out and about. Do not heat this product. Microwaving these teats will damage the latex and create a potential choking hazard. Not for resale.

Hygiene Whether a natural product or a special synthetic material, all NUK Teats are soft and adapt to the inside of a child’s mouth. Of course you can also switch between teat materials. In case you are unsure of which material is better for your child, you can let your child decide too: many accept only the one but not the other.
