The NUK Cleft Lip Teat was developed as a sucking aid for unilateral (one-sided) clefts with an inserted palatal plate but it can also be used, in exceptional cases, for bilateral (two-sided) clefts with an inserted palatal plate. 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. No other teat comes as close to mimicking the breastfeeding process and supports healthy mouth development so naturally as the original from NUK. Making the transition from bottle feeding to drinking from a cup can be a big step but help is at hand with the NUK First Choice 150ml Learner Cup.

The special shape of the teat adapts particularly well to a child’s mouth: the domed shape of the top fits snugly against the roof of the mouth, while the curved underside leaves enough room for the tongue to move naturally during sucking. 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. It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Ocado Limited's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. The award winning NUK First Choice+ Teat features the NUK orthodontic shape, a super soft zone which adapts perfectly to baby's palate and an extra wide lip support. Breathing, eating, sensory perception – all these things require perfect coordination between the jaw, tongue and lips.

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 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.

Its shape and function have been adapted to the NUK Teat and it does not look like a prosthetic device. When using any steriliser or sterilising solution be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. Even if you are not supposed to breastfeed (any more), the teat supports your baby as naturally as possible. If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label. Prepare your baby's feed only in the quantities and concentrations recommended by the infant formula manufacturers. Unrelenting bad habits such as grinding or clenching teeth and tongue thrusting, associated with pain and jaw cracking, can also be effectively treated.
