Should you have more questions or require further information, then please contact the NUK Parents’ Service. Since 1st June, 2011, the sale of baby bottles containing BPA has been prohibited in all countries of the European Union. 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.

However, once children have their first teeth, we recommend the use of soothers made from latex as it is more bite-resistant than silicone. To sterilise bottles and teats we recommend using steam, cold water sterilisation or a NUK Steam or NUK Microwave Steriliser.e. with a slightly domed underside, puts the tongue into a natural position and this helps the development of both jaws. The available studies were not consistant and therefore, different countries and different institutes were very contradictory in their assessments. Whether a natural product or a special synthetic material, all NUK Teats are soft and adapt to the inside of a child’s mouth. The ban on manufacturing and selling baby bottles containing BPA in the EU came into force on 1st June, 2011.

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. A soother can pacify and help cope with upsetting or stressful situations but it can never replace the care and affection of parents. NUK Soothers have differently sized baglets, but all the mouth plates are the same size regardless for which age.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.

A narrow teat neck (the part that joins the baglet to the mouth plate) only puts minimal pressure on the jaw and the teeth that are waiting to come through. The results of these studies are not conclusive and over the past months and years have been very inconsistently assessed by different institutes in various countries. They are extremely flexible and tear-resistant –and therefore also well-suited for babies who have their first teeth. But: during breastfeeding, the nipple actually changes its shape and so adapts to a child’s mouth and the sucking motion. The American Academy of Pediatrics, founded in 1930, has almost 60,000 members in the USA, Canada and Latin America, who campaign for the physical, emotional and social health of children and young people.

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. The NUK Anti-Colic Air System ensures a natural flow to help your baby drink without swallowing air. NUK had already dispensed with polycarbonate bottles that contained BPA long before the demand of the EU and therefore, years before the final banning, could brand its baby products as “BPA-free”.

In this process, NUK uses only borosilicate glass, which, with its cross-linked surface structure, wears well and withstands variations in temperature. For children who require help sucking after their birth, NUK has developed special products that are used in most German clinics with neonatal wards.First and foremost a soother is something to be sucked and so it can make your baby stronger, give comfort and most of all have a calming effect. Unrelenting bad habits such as grinding or clenching teeth and tongue thrusting, associated with pain and jaw cracking, can also be effectively treated.
