For many years, NUK First Choice has been the first choice for bottle feeding modelled on breastfeeding. With NUK First Choice + we have managed to get even closer to nature – for healthy jaw development and a drinking sensation as if at a mother’s breast. And for every meal, the nursing bottle and teat in addition to being cleaned is required to be disinfected. Make a “deal” with your child: the soother can only be used at home, until your child is ready to say goodbye. Another tactic: motivate your child into giving the soother to someone else as a “present” – e.g. to a newborn you both know, as this baby “needs” the soother urgently. Very important: give your child lots of praise when the beloved soother is given away. Scientists from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2 examined this hypothesis and assessed relevant international studies from the years 1966 to 2004. Before your baby uses a new NUK Soother for the first time, you should use a gentle washing-up liquid (e.g. the NUK Bottle Cleanser) [[DEEP LINK]] ) to thoroughly clean it and then boil it for approx. 5 minutes.

Whether you want the ease of a sterilising solution, a steam-sterilising microwave option or the latest electric all-rounder, we’ve looked at all the options on the market. We’ve also listened to our BabyCenter parents to find out which sterilisers they are raving or ranting about. Before putting your Nuk pacifier through sterilization with a microwave, you must have washed it. Add at least ½ cup of white vinegar to a bowl of hot water with soap and rinse the pacifier in the soluti on. If your baby’s binky is particularly dirty, such as having congealed food or chocolate, use a soft brush to scrub this out. Inspecting Your Baby’s Nuk PacifierPlace your baby’s binky with its nipple facing down. Run the microwave oven for about two minutes, remove and turn the dummy upside-down before zipping the container again for that same period. Letting the Binky Dry You’ve microwaved your child’s Nuk pacifier in boiling water. Remove it and place it on a clean towel to dry. If condensation or water vapor is present within the nipple, squeeze or shake it off as best as possible while holding the dummy by its shield or ring handle. Store Your Baby’s Nuk Pacifier in a Sterile Condition This is a function that has not yet existed in this form before. To help from feeding the contents of the bottle too hot to your baby, NUK First Choice + baby bottles now feature the new NUK Temperature Control Indicator. It looks like a thermometer, is located within the graduation marks and the temperature of the contents of the bottle makes it change colour. In the future, the function will help parents to achieve the optimum temperature when feeding their baby. The teat should always be completely full of milk while feeding. Burping is also important after bottle or breastfeeding. As a busy new mum we understand that you have enough on your plate. However, we recommend that you try to descale your steriliser every 4 weeks. Whether you choose the citric acid solution, vinegar solution or the descaling sachets, what is important is that the steriliser itself must be kept bacteria and germ free.

The genius design means you don’t need an actual steriliser, but you do still need a microwave, so may not be quite so ideal if you’re away and there isn’t one available. The best sterilisers on the market offer a helping hand, whether you buy a cold water steriliser, microwave version or an electric steriliser. Microwave and electric sterilisers work by steaming the bottles until they’re clean – although you always need to wash everything thoroughly first – before sterilising.The bottles also promise to be anti-colic and also offer a ‘SkinSoftTM’ teat to help your baby accept a bottle – which can be difficult if they’ve been exclusively breastfed. It’s a bargain and you don’t need any electricity, but you do still need to buy the Milton sterilising tablets or liquid, so it isn't just a one-off cost. As with any appliance, it’s another piece of kit to have on your work surface and, if you don’t use both compartments with this device you’ll need to store them, which could be frustrating if you’re short on kitchen space.
