Nipples

Nipples

Provides the flexibility to choose a ready-for-use nipple and ring that match each infant's sucking strength or need. Infant (latex-free)—for infants with developed sucking strength. Premature (latex-free)—for preterm infants with less developed sucking strength. Orthodontic (contains latex)—for newborn infants, to stimulate oral exercise while feeding. Slow Flow (latex-free)—to support the underdeveloped "suck-swallow-breath" coordination of preterm infants. Provides a more controlled flow rate vs faster-flow nipples for increased physiological stability and a more efficient sucking pattern.1
