Unlike many plastic bottles, T-Ester has a high resistance to UV degradation, which makes it well-suited to cleaning in a UV steriliser. It's part of Pigeon's \u003cstrong\u003eSofTouch™\u003c\/strong\u003e wide-neck system, designed to help babies move between breast and bottle using the same natural sucking motion they use at the breast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bottle comes with a Round-hole teat, which has a round-cut opening that lets milk flow out consistently and gradually. The Round size is intended for newborns (0+ months): it has a smaller tip and a softness and elasticity that Pigeon designs to sit close to a mother's nipple. Newborns are still developing their jaw muscles, so the teat is shaped to support their sucking ability at this early stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes T-Ester different\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eT-Ester gives the bottle a clear, glass-like finish that makes it easy to monitor volumes and check for residue, without the weight or breakability of glass. Its resistance to UV means it holds up to UV sterilising, so you have another cleaning option alongside the methods you already use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreast-to-bottle mimicry:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SofTouch™ teat is developed to functionally mimic the feeding movements babies make at the breast, which is designed to support mums who want to feed from both breast and bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatch-on line:\u003c\/strong\u003e The soft teat carries a research-based latch-on line to guide where baby latches onto the teat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir vent system:\u003c\/strong\u003e An advanced air vent system is designed to minimise the air baby swallows during a feed.
