Nipples for newborns

A pacifier is one of the most necessary items for a child. As a rule, even before the birth of a baby, his parents are wondering which nipple is best to choose for a newborn, and which manufacturer is best to give preference. In this article we will try to understand this.

How to choose a nipple for newborns?

To choose the best baby pacifier for a newborn, you need to decide on a number of parameters, namely:

1. The form. Most inexpensive nipples for newborn babies are round in shape. On the one hand, it is most common for mothers and grandmothers, but on the other hand, such a nipple can not be given too often to a child, so that it does not develop an incorrect bite. To avoid this, doctors recommend buying anatomical nipples, which in shape correspond to the structure of the baby's gums. It evenly distributes pressure over the whole surface of the baby's sky, prevents swallowing too much air and helps to form the right bite. In addition, most parents are satisfied with the choice of modern nipples of the orthodontic form, which are captured by the baby in the same way as the mother's nipple.
2. The size. Typically, the nipples are divided into 4 large groups: for preterm infants, for crumbs from 0 to 3 months, for babies from 3 to 6 months, for children over 6 months. Nevertheless, this does not mean that when choosing a nipple, you should give preference to the one that strictly corresponds to this gradation. On the contrary, one should take into account the individual characteristics of the baby and change the nipple as it grows.
3. Material of manufacture. Rubber dummies are the most short-lived, so more and more parents refuse to use them. Latex nipples made of natural rubber are recommended for use in premature infants and infants of the first days of life. Meanwhile, they have a significant drawback - such pacifiers are extremely unstable to boiling. That is why today more and more young parents give their preference to silicone nipples, which are much more rigid and durable than latex ones.
