NUK Perfect Match Air Night Soother 2 Pack

The NUK Perfect Match Air Night Silicone Soother 2 Pack is a set of two silicone dummies designed with the delicate skin around a baby's mouth in mind. Part of NUK's Perfect Match system, this soother (also called a dummy or pacifier) pairs a thin, slim teat neck with a vented, heart-shaped shield, and adds glow-in-the-dark detailing on the shield so you can locate it more easily in a dark room at night.

A dummy offers non-nutritive sucking — sucking for comfort rather than for milk. Whether or not a baby takes to one is very individual, so it helps to offer it once you've checked that hunger or another need isn't the real cue. This 2 pack gives you a spare on hand, and the set comes in a compact case that doubles as a transport box and can be used for hygienic preparation in the microwave.

Designed with sensitive skin and airflow in mind

The "Air" in the name refers to ventilation. Air channels set into the shield and a vented shield design are intended to let air move around the skin near baby's mouth, which is where drool and constant contact can leave sensitive skin feeling irritated. The heart-shaped shield is curved to follow the shape of a baby's face and leaves space around the nose for breathing.

The Perfect Match teat shape

• Slim teat neck: The teat neck is thinner and narrower than a standard profile, which is designed to reduce the pressure placed on the jaw and teeth while the dummy is in the mouth.
• Room to suck naturally: The slim shape leaves more space for baby's natural sucking movements.
• Asymmetric silicone teat: The teat is flat on the underside and curved above — NUK's asymmetric design, shaped to leave room for the tongue below and to sit against the gums. "Orthodontic" here describes this intended shape rather than a guaranteed dental outcome.

Sizing across the stages

As a baby grows, so does the palate, so NUK makes this soother in stage sizes — 0–6 months, 6–18 months and 18–36 months. Choosing the size that matches your child's stage helps the teat and shield sit in the right proportions. Smaller isn't automatically better; match the size to the stage.

Materials and standards

The teat is made from silicone, which is clear, shape-stable and odour-resistant. The soother is BPA-free, complies with the European safety standard EN1400 and is made in Germany.

Keeping it clean

1. Before first use, place the soother in boiling water for 5 minutes, using enough water to avoid damage.
2. Before every further use, clean thoroughly with a mild washing-up liquid and then sterilise (a NUK Steriliser is recommended).
3. After cleaning or sterilising, press out any residual liquid from the teat and leave the soother to dry.

Disclaimer

A dummy is for comfort sucking and should not be used to postpone a feed, and it should never be sweetened, modified or used to give medicine. Follow your full safe-sleep setup, and don't attach clips, cords or toys during sleep. Inspect the soother regularly and replace it if you notice any cracks, tears, stickiness or other signs of wear, and otherwise in line with the replacement guidance on the packaging. Glow-in-the-dark detailing is a locate-at-night feature, not a sleep aid.
