    The Orthodontists' Choice

    More than 90% of South African orthodontists recommend it because of its shape being right for the jaw.

    • How do you know which soother is best?

      In a new study by the University of Minho, Portugal, scientists investigated the effects of different teat shapes on the development of the teeth, jaw and palate.

      In comparison: the original NUK shape and three teats with a different design.

      In this pacifier study, the child's sucking movements were closely observed: the tongue presses the pacifier against the palate. The less stress this causes the better.

    • What makes the NUK shape so much better?

      The Independant study proves:
      The original NUK shape is best for teeth, jaw and palate.

      Advantages:

      • Least pressure on the palate
      • Minimal realignment of the teeth

    • What exactly does this mean for my child's development?

      NUK pacifiers have the lowest risk of teeth realignment and the lowest risk of deforming the palate.

      Using NUK Pacifiers has a lower risk of malocclusions such as "open bite", "cross bite" or "incisor protrusion".

    NUK Pacifier FAQs

    When should I change my child’s pacifier size and why?

    As baby grows, so does the size
    of their palate. Therefore, they require a larger pacifier baglet for proper soothing. NUK® offers pacifier sizes at every stage of development starting from Newborn to 36 months. We suggest you change your baby's pacifier size at 2 or 3, 6 and 18 months of age. 

    Round pacifier nipple vs asymmetrically-shaped pacifier nipple: why is asymmetrical better?

    The original NUK® orthodontic nipple is asymmetrical to promote healthy oral development. Its natural shape mimics mom’s nipple while breastfeeding and the scoop bottom nipple allows for maximum tongue movement. NUK pacifiers also promote the natural development of baby's teeth and jaw through integrated channels on the orthodontic nipple that reduce jaw and palate pressure.

    What do I need to know about pacifier hygiene?

    Before your baby uses a new NUK®
    pacifier for the first time, sanitise the pacifier by boiling it in water for 5 minutes. For daily cleaning, wash with hot water and mild detergent, then rinse clean. NUK pacifiers are dishwasher-safe, top rack only. Water may get inside the nipple during cleaning, and can be removed by squeezing the nipple. For hygiene and safety, replace pacifiers after 2 months of use.

    How often should I replace my pacifier?

    For hygiene and safety reasons,
    we recommend replacing pacifiers after 2 months or if any tears or cracks appear.
