{"product_id":"nuk-first-choice-soother","title":"NUK First Choice Soother","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NUK First Choice Soother is a silicone dummy designed to support your baby's natural need for non-nutritive sucking — the sucking for comfort rather than for milk. Part of NUK's established First Choice system, it uses the brand's asymmetric, orthodontic teat shape and comes with a sturdy, reusable box that doubles as a hygienic storage case and sterilising transport box. This version is sized for the 0–6 month stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDummy acceptance is very individual, and no single shape suits every baby — but the First Choice teat is shaped with a soft zone on top and a slim profile intended to sit comfortably in the mouth. It's BPA free, made in Germany, and complies with the European safety standard EN1400.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the teat is designed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAsymmetric orthodontic teat:\u003c\/strong\u003e A curved upper surface with a flatter underside — NUK's First Choice teat concept, shaped to support your baby's sucking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft zone on top:\u003c\/strong\u003e The upper surface has an extra-soft area designed to nestle gently against the palate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-flat shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e The flattened profile is designed to leave more room for the tongue to move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-thin, narrow neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e The slim neck is designed to let tiny lips close almost completely around the teat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use and care for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore first use, place the soother in boiling water for 5 minutes, using enough water to avoid damaging it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore every further use, clean thoroughly with a mild washing-up liquid and then sterilise.

For breastfed babies, many parents wait until breastfeeding is well established before introducing routine dummy use. Never attach cords, clips or toys to a dummy during sleep, and follow safe-sleep guidance for your baby's sleep space. Inspect the soother regularly and replace the silicone soother after 1–2 months of use, or sooner if you notice any tears, cracks, stickiness or discolouration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artemis Brands","offers":[{"title":"0-6m \/ Seahorse","offer_id":47282813403313,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-1SH","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0-6m \/ Giraffe","offer_id":47282813436081,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-1GI","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0-6m \/ Penguin","offer_id":47282813468849,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-1PG","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-18m \/ Turtle","offer_id":47282813501617,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-2TR","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"6-18m \/ Monkey","offer_id":47282813534385,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-2MK","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"18-36m \/ Whale","offer_id":47282813567153,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-3WH","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"18-36m \/ Kangaroo","offer_id":47282813599921,"sku":"NUK-FCS1-3KR","price":159.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/9559\/4673\/files\/nuk-first-choice-soother-1.jpg?v=1784520332","url":"https:\/\/pandylane.com\/products\/nuk-first-choice-soother","provider":"Pandylane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
