Peristaltic Teats For Pigeon Baby Bottles - why peristaltic?

Most moms today choose to breastfeed their babies as breast milk is known to give children the best start in life. To ensure that their babies still get the right nourishment even in their absence, bottle feeding is normally introduced when mom cannot always be around to breastfeed the baby. Bottle feeding also works when mom does not have enough milk and baby has to rely on formula milk from time to time.

To ensure that the baby transits easily from breastfeeding to bottle feeding, a good feeding bottle is required. One of the best baby bottles in the market today are produced by Pigeon, a company that sells quite a variety of baby nursing products in over 50 countries. One of the reasons why Pigeon baby bottles are widely recognized is because of their peristaltic teats that come with most of their plastic and glass baby bottles.

Pigeon peristaltic teats are designed to ensure that the natural peristaltic motion of the tongue is maintained even when the baby is on the bottle. This works to ensure that the baby's jaw and face muscles develop normally and the baby is comfortable when bottle feeding. The peristaltic teat also comes with an Air Ventilation System that works to adjust the pressure inside the bottle so that the baby doesn't take up too much air while feeding and end up too windy. The teats also have a wide base and a long nipple with a narrow tip all which work too make latching, suckling and swallowing when feeding from Pigeon bottles easy.

Another major reason why Pigeon Baby bottles work for most mums is that peristaltic teats are designed to ensure that nipple confusion does not occur and baby can clearly differentiate between the bottle teat and mum's nipple. This makes it possible for mum to switch from breastfeeding to bottle feeding easily and baby does not settle for the easier and faster bottle where getting full on just lip suckling is possible. With these nipples baby can continue breastfeeding which generally requires more effort to start the flow of milk and only bottle feed whenever necessary. Apart from Pigeon, other brands producing feeding bottles with peristaltic teats include NUK and Cherub Baby.
