They're what you reach for when a teat is worn, when you want a spare on hand, or when your baby is ready to move up a flow. Available in six sizes from SS through to LLL, they let you keep your existing SofTouch bottles going and adjust the flow as your baby grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are the upgraded SofTouch teats launched in 2022, developed off more than 60 years of Pigeon research into how babies suck at the breast. They're shaped to functionally mimic those natural feeding movements, which is why they're often chosen by parents feeding from both breast and bottle. A research-based latch-on line marks where baby's lips should sit to help with positioning and attachment, and the softer silicone is designed to feel close to a mother's breast. The teats are BPA free and made with 20% ISCC-certified bio-based plastic, reducing reliance on non-renewable virgin plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes to match your baby's development\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach SofTouch size has its own shape, hole size and silicone hardness to give a suitable milk flow in gentle increments. The age guide is a starting point — your baby's feeding ability and cues are the better guide to which flow actually suits them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSS — Newborns (0+ months)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound-cut opening for consistent, gradual milk flow.
