Launch of the New Peristaltic Plus™ Teat

Tomorrow something rather special is happening in the world of baby bottle teats.

The lovely Jessica Rowe will be hosting the launch of a revolutionary new Peristaltic Plus™ baby teat by Pigeon, an award-winning world leader in baby care products.
It is made of super soft, super flexible silicon rubber that is able to stretch in the baby's mouth and so sits comfortably on the tongue. It is also uniquely textured to closely resemble a mother's soft skin and helps baby with the correct latch on.
Pigeon knows that there are three main factors in a breast feeding bub. Firstly, the baby initiates attachment or latching; moving the tongue forward, and the lips outwards to form a suction cup around the mother's areola. Secondly, peristaltic movement - the baby starts moving the tongue in a wave-like motion and starts sucking and drawing milk from the mother's breast, and then thirdly, swallowing - the back of the baby’s tongue rises to transfer milk down to the oesophagus. The Peristaltic Plus™ Teat has been designed with these three key factors close in mind.
It is quite a break through in the world of teats both for breast feeding and bottle feeding mums and aims to minimise any nipple confusion so that mums are able to breastfeed for longer and babies can enjoy the benefits of breast milk for as long as they can.
