Our latest nipple type is the anatomical nipple, which has a curved top to fit naturally against the baby's palate and an angled tip to facilitate tongue placement. The curved top supports a tongue placement and suction technique where the sides of the tongue surround the nipple, just as it does during breastfeeding. Due to the angled tip, the baby does not need to suck as hard as with a round nipple for the pacifier to flatten in its mouth.
The nipple is equipped with a valve that lets air out when the baby closes the nipple. This ventilation system pushes air out from the nipple, causing the nipple to flatten so that it shapes itself naturally to the baby's mouth cavity. The valve is also the reason why water may be present inside the nipple after cleaning and sterilization. If this is the case, simply squeeze the nipple flat to expel the excess water.
We offer two different shields for our anatomical nipple – to meet the demand in terms of look and materials:
The Couture pacifier is specially designed to resemble a butterfly, making it easy to see which way the pacifier should turn in the baby's mouth. The shield is carefully designed with large holes on each side to ensure minimal contact with the sensitive and delicate skin around the baby's mouth, which means less risk of moisture accumulation from saliva that can cause rashes and sore spots. The shield comes in two different sizes, which match the size of the nipple. The larger the nipple, the larger the shield. The anatomical nipple is available in natural rubber latex and silicone. Couture is available in sizes 1 and 2.
