All babies come into the world with an innate need to suck. Breastfeeding satisfies this urge and gives baby everything they need, but for many babies, the need to suck goes beyond breastfeeding. Non-nutritive sucking can provide baby a sense of safety and security in between feeds. The familiar, instinctive feeling of sucking on a soother can quickly relax baby when feeling unsettled.
NUK Soothers are modelled on a mother’s nipple as she breastfeeds and are accepted by 95% of babies *. The asymmetrical shape gives the tongue enough space for natural sucking movements while the baglet is particularly thin and narrow to reduce the pressure on the teeth and jaws.
