What is the purpose of Nuk First Choice + 6-18 Months Silicone Teats?
The NUK First Choice+ silicone teat is designed to give your baby a natural, comfortable feeding experience, while promoting healthy jaw development. This revolutionary teat is inspired by the shape of the mother's breast and adapts perfectly to your baby's mouth. Discover the unique advantages of this teat, which gives you peace of mind when feeding your child.
A natural, orthodontic teat
The special NUK shape faithfully reproduces the shape of the mother's breast during breastfeeding. It offers ample space for your baby's tongue and jaw, enabling natural, orthodontic suckling. This innovative design promotes a smooth transition from breastfeeding to bottle-feeding, while ensuring the healthy development of your child's jaw and teeth. NUK First Choice+ teats are clinically proven to be very well accepted by infants. They are therefore ideal for babies who are breast-fed or bottle-fed. What's more, 99% of mothers surveyed in an independent market study in Germany in 2018 confirmed that the NUK First Choice+ bottle does not cause colic.
Comfort and softness for your baby
The soft zone of the NUK First Choice+ silicone teat allows it to adapt even better to your baby's palate. This soft zone provides a natural drinking sensation and simulates the softness of the mother's breast. The silicone used to manufacture this teat is BPA-free, guaranteeing your baby's health and safety. Thanks to the exceptional quality of the silicone, the NUK First Choice+ teat offers greater resistance to tearing and biting, as well as superior longevity compared with latex teats. What's more, the silicone is easy to clean and sterilize, so you can maintain optimum hygiene when feeding your child.
Anti-colic system for worry-free feeding
The anti-colic air system built into the NUK First Choice+ teat ensures a natural flow of food. This innovative device enables your baby to drink in a relaxed way, without swallowing air, thus reducing the risk of colic. Thanks to this ingenious teat, your child can enjoy comfortable, stress-free feeding. NUK First Choice+ silicone teats are available in two sizes, to adapt to your baby's needs as he grows: size 1 for infants from 0 to 6 months and size 2 for babies from 6 to 18 months. What's more, they come in three different feeding flow rates (S for fine liquids, M for milk, and L for thicker foods), to meet your child's specific needs at every stage of growth.
Attractive, playful design
NUK First Choice+ silicone teats feature an elegant, attractive design with colorful, fun patterns that will capture your baby's attention. These playful, cute illustrations add a touch of playfulness to mealtime, making the feeding experience even more enjoyable for your child.

How do I use Nuk pacifiers?
When you want to use NUK First Choice+ physiological silicone teats for babies aged 6-18 months, start by preparing the teat by carefully cleaning and sterilizing it. Make sure you're using a compatible NUK First Choice bottle, then assemble the bottle by placing the nipple on the neck and securing it with the clamping ring. Fill the bottle with breast milk or prepared infant milk, following the manufacturer's instructions or your healthcare professional's recommendations. Before giving your baby the bottle, always check the temperature of the liquid by pouring a few drops onto the inside of your wrist to ensure that the milk is at a warm, comfortable temperature.
Then place your baby in a semi-seated position, supporting his head and back with your arm, to facilitate feeding and avoid the risk of choking. Insert the teat into your baby's mouth, making sure it is well filled with milk to prevent your baby swallowing air during feeding. The orthodontic shape of the NUK First Choice+ teat encourages natural sucking and good oral development. It's important to always supervise your baby during feeding to make sure he's drinking without difficulty and without swallowing air. If you notice any signs of discomfort or regurgitation, gently remove the teat from your baby's mouth and check that it is correctly positioned and working properly.
Finally, after feeding, disassemble the bottle and wash all its components thoroughly in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and leave to air dry. Store the nipple and bottle in a clean, dry place, away from dust and direct light. By following these steps, you'll ensure optimal use of NUK First Choice+ physiological silicone teats for babies aged 6 to 18 months, ensuring their comfort and safety.

What are the side effects and contraindications?
To ensure your baby's safety and well-being when using NUK First Choice+ silicone teats, it is essential to take certain precautions:
1. Pre-use check
Before each use, carefully inspect the teat for signs of wear or damage. If you find any cracks, tears or discoloration, it's best to replace the teat immediately to avoid any risk of your baby swallowing small pieces.
2. Cleaning and sterilization
It's vital to clean and sterilize the teat properly before first use, and after each subsequent use. To do this, you can wash it in hot, soapy water, making sure to rinse off all soap residue, then sterilize it using an appropriate sterilizer or by boiling it for 5 minutes. Never leave the nipple exposed to direct sunlight or heat, as this may damage the material.
3. Proper use
Make sure you always use the NUK First Choice+ teat with NUK First Choice feeding bottles, as this ensures optimum compatibility and proper functioning of the anti-colic system. In addition, choose the right size and feeding rate for your baby's age and needs, to facilitate feeding and prevent choking.
4. Supervision during feeding
It's important to always supervise your baby while he's feeding, to make sure he's drinking without difficulty and without swallowing air. If he shows any signs of discomfort, coughing or regurgitation, gently remove the teat from his mouth and check that it is correctly positioned and working properly.
5. Regular replacement
Silicone teats are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but they still need to be replaced regularly, especially if your baby starts to develop teeth. It is generally recommended to replace teats every 1-2 months, or as soon as signs of wear appear.
