Sucking is the most natural thing in the world for a baby. The baby's sucking reflex and need to suck are innate and vital, otherwise a baby would starve. In addition to food intake, the suction also has a calming and relaxing effect. Babies sometimes need to suck more often than just around mealtime, and continuous breastfeeding would certainly not be healthy. In addition, a baby should not get used to being fed to become calmer. That is why pacifiers are very important. The baby can still calm down because he can make the calming sucking movement without you as a mother being bothered by it and the baby getting too much food. The pacifier has three large ventilation holes in the shield and thus prevents sucking and possible skin irritations or rashes. The soft and straight gripping loop supports the natural grasping reflex. The round, straight shield of the teat imitates the same position that your baby would assume when breastfeeding by touching the tip of the nose and chin. Before first use and for babies up to 6 months: disinfect in boiling water for approx. 2 minutes. Later, it is sufficient to rinse the pacifier under running warm/hot water. Teat made of natural rubber? Yes, the Goldi teats are made of 100% natural rubber. So nothing synthetic has been added. The high quality of this rubber gives the child a true feeling of pure natural and soothing well-being. Natural rubber is also the perfect basis for hygiene. The teat is made from one smooth-running piece so that it offers no chance to bacteria and other germs that would otherwise get stuck in between. The Goldi shape is therefore really perfectly developed for babies. Finally, natural rubber is much safer than silicone for babies with teeth. They easily bite off pieces of the silicone teat and can swallow them. That is very dangerous! With natural rubber you can prevent this. What shape of teat do I need? Goldi teats are a very good aid for the natural need to suck and to prevent the risk of poor dental status and palate deformation due to intensive thumb sucking. Round - When selecting the suckers, the symmetrical, natural shape is preferred. It looks very much like a real nipple, but the mouth still has the freedom to move around the sucker so that all muscles are well trained. The symmetrical shape allows the tongue to make finer movements. A slope at the end of the teat (tapered shape) prevents the tongue from sliding against the impact. Oval - For babies who like to turn with the teat in their mouth, the oval shape is better. Almost 80% of children do this. Slanted - The slanted variant is for babies who are already used to this variant from other teats. It is confusing for them to suddenly get a round or oval teat. How do I use the teat? Before each use, you should thoroughly check the teat. Pull it from all sides. Do you see a tear or loose part somewhere? Replace the teat immediately. Never put the teat in medicine or sweeteners to calm a baby, because the little one can quickly develop holes. These teats are also not recommended if the little one does not suck on the breast without problems. Only use the teat to calm the baby down. Therefore, first check whether it is not just a case of hunger, frustration or a dirty diaper. Is that all okay? Then you can give the teat. Put the teat aside again when the child is playing with something else or sleeping. Maintenance You can easily clean the Goldi teat by briefly immersing it in hot water with a wooden spoon. Do not boil it for longer than 2 minutes. The hot water disinfects the teat. Then let the pacifier dry on a clean, disinfected cloth, away from sunlight and heat. The pacifiers are made of natural rubber and can therefore not be placed in an evaporator, microwave or dishwasher. Various sizes The soothers are available for different ages, including 0-3 months, 4-11 months and older than one year. Therefore, first check which type you need (round, oval or slanted) and then which size. Each size fits best with a certain age.

Environmental information about Natural rubber teat oval - Size XS - 0-Moon Natural rubber is made from a milky latex sap from the Hevea Brasilensis, the rubber tree. The hevea tree has a valuable traditional life cycle. After planting, it takes 7 years for the hevea tree to be 'mature' for rubber production. The tree can then provide sap for 30-40 years and simultaneously absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. If the trees have to be cut down, furniture is made from them under good working conditions. Natural rubber is biodegradable, this takes 5 years. A plastic bag on the other hand takes 500-1000 years!
