This nipple is specially designed for babies with cleft lip and palate. Its wide diameter helps prevent milk from leaking through the cleft. The small size should be used in specific situations, such as Low birth weight babies with cleft lip or palate، Babies with a small oral cavity due to the use of a Hotz-type plate after cleft lip surgery، Transitioning to a regular nipple after surgery.

Features:

• Suitable for babies with reduced oral cavity capacity.
• Supports transition to standard nipples after cleft palate surgery.
• Prevents choking in babies who struggle with standard-sized nipples.

How to Use:

• Position the bottle correctly: Hold the bottle so that the thicker side of the nipple and the air vent are facing upwards. This allows the baby to press the thinner lower side of the nipple for milk flow.
• Assist with milk flow if needed: If your baby has weak suction or cannot press the nipple effectively, milk may not collect properly inside the nipple. In such cases, gently squeeze the bottle to help fill the nipple with milk.
• Choose the right nipple size: If the nipple is not suitable for your baby's condition, they may receive too much or too little milk per suck, leading to choking or difficulty drinking. Select the appropriate nipple size based on your baby’s condition and growth.
• Storage & care: Do not expose the nipple to direct sunlight or heat, and do not leave it in a sterilizing solution longer than recommended, as this may weaken it.
• Regular checks: Before each use, inspect the nipple by pulling it in all directions. Regardless of how often it is sterilized, discard the nipple at the first signs of wear, including tears, cracks, or deterioration, or after two months of use.

• Always use under adult supervision.
• Never use a feeding nipple as a pacifier.
