Natural Rubber Soother Twin Pack L (6mths +)

Description

Natural Rubber Soother Round Large (6 mths +) TWIN PACK Natural Rubber Soothers are extremely hygienic because they are molded in one piece.

This means there are no joins or cracks in the Natural Rubber Soother where dirt and bacteria can accumulate. The Natural Rubber Soother shield is larger than conventional dummy shields, which touches baby’s nose providing closer simulation to breastfeeding.

The size of the shield also prevents babies from squeezing the soother into their mouths. It does not leave marks on the baby’s face due to the high level of elasticity of natural rubber. The Natural Rubber Soother is softer than silicone soothers, which makes it easy to wash and care for and also ensures that it won’t fall apart.

WHAT SHAPE Natural Rubber Soother SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Natural Rubber Soothers are helpful in satisfying your baby’s need for self-soothing, while preventing possible negative effects on teeth and palate formation created by his or her thumb sucking. Round Shape: Tends to work better for breast-fed babies because the tongue is positioned under the nipple as it is during breast-feeding,which helps prevent nipple confusion. About 80% of babies tend to move soothers around in their mouths, so the position of the round soother can never end up around the wrong way. Because the tongue’s position never changes, midwives usually recommend starting babies on rounded soothers.

Natural Rubber Soothers round model is available in small (0-3months), medium (3-6 months) and large (6 months+).

Orthodontic Shape: With the orthodontic shape, the tip of the nipple is slanted to encourage tongue movement against it (as opposed tounder it. The tongue’s pressure is directed towards the tip. This shape is ideal for babies who are already accustomed tothe orthodontic shape. The Natural Rubber Soother Ortho shape is available in small (0-6 months) and large (6 months+).
