NUK First Choice special feeding bottle for cleft palate

Feeding newborns with cleft lip or palate has always had its own difficulties: for these babies it is very hard, and sometimes impossible, to create the right type of suction vacuum.

That means breastfeeding or a standard bottle is often extremely difficult or simply not possible. For these children, NUK created special teats based on the unique anatomical structure of the upper jaw of infants with cleft lip or palate.

The NUK Cleft Palate Teat encourages natural sucking and swallowing. During swallowing, the upper dome-shaped part of the bottle presses against the 'roof of the mouth', closing the cleft so that food cannot enter the airways. Food and saliva can be mixed at the same time, which is an important factor for digestion. Holes can be enlarged later according to individual needs and your doctor's instructions.
