It pairs Pigeon's Peristaltic PLUS™ bottles and teats with a training teether, a newborn pacifier and a bottle brush, so much of what you'll reach for in those early weeks is ready to go. It's a practical choice for first-time parents setting up, and a thoughtful option if you're shopping for a newborn gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit is built around Pigeon's SofTouch™ wide-neck system and the brand's Peristaltic PLUS™ teat, which is shaped to mimic baby's natural sucking action to help ease the switch between breast and bottle. Every item that touches milk is made from BPA- and BPS-free polypropylene (PP), and the whole kit is dishwasher safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSofTouch™ Peristaltic PLUS™ bottles for newborns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two 160 mL wide-neck SofTouch™ PP bottles come fitted with SS size teats made for newborns. The SS teat has a round-cut opening that gives a gradual, consistent flow suited to a newborn's still-developing jaw muscles, and the updated 2022 design adds a Latch-on Line to guide positioning during a feed. The ultra-soft silicone teat is made with a double thickness for softness and elasticity, helping baby latch comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA bottle that grows with baby\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe larger 240 mL wide-neck bottle carries an M size teat with a Y-cut (variable-cut) opening, intended for babies aged three months and older. The Y-cut releases milk only when baby actively sucks and adjusts to the strength of that suck, so feeding stays efficient as baby's needs change. Having both stages in one kit means you're not scrambling for a bigger bottle or a faster teat when that time comes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor teething and soothing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond feeding, the kit includes the Step 1 Training Teether, developed to support babies from around four months. Its thin, soft design encourages lip closure and chewing to help with oral development, with textured patterns to keep little hands and senses busy, a small grip for tiny fingers, and a no-detachable-parts build that's easy to keep clean. The MiniLight newborn silicone pacifier, suited to ages 0–3 months and supplied with a hood, is ultra-lightweight to reduce strain on baby's jaw, with a soft teat that moves with the tongue and large ventilation holes for better airflow against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCleaning made simpler\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included sponge bottle brush is made to clean both slim- and wide-neck bottles. Its 360° rotary handle and dual-layer sponge lift milk residue from every edge without scratching the plastic, and the non-slip handle keeps your grip secure through PP and PPSU bottles alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeristaltic PLUS™ teat:\u003c\/strong\u003e The teat is shaped to encourage a natural sucking motion, designed to make moving between breast and bottle smoother for baby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound-cut vs Y-cut flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS teat's round cut gives a steady flow for newborns, while the M teat's variable Y-cut only releases milk as baby actively sucks, matching flow to feeding strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-colic air vent:\u003c\/strong\u003e An air vent system in the teat is designed to reduce the air baby swallows during a feed, which the design aims to help limit feeding discomfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePigeon Newborn Starter Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is a great option for parents who:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant to supplement breastfeeding with a bottle system built to ease the transition between breast and bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefer to set up with newborn and next-stage teats in one purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre shopping for a practical, ready-to-use newborn gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValue BPA- and BPS-free, dishwasher-safe feeding gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt may not be the best fit if you:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAre set on a narrow-neck (Flexible™) bottle system, as this kit uses the SofTouch™ wide-neck teat, which is not interchangeable with slim-neck teats\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePandylane Pro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS teats are best kept for the newborn stage — if you notice long, effortful feeds or teat collapse as baby gets stronger, that's usually the cue to move up to the M size Y-cut teat included in the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMD Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47282894471345,"sku":"PGN-NSKT","price":599.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/9559\/4673\/files\/pigeon-newborn-starter-kit-1.jpg?v=1784533384","url":"https:\/\/pandylane.com\/products\/pigeon-newborn-starter-kit","provider":"Pandylane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
