soothers

Q: How do the closer to nature® soothers differ from others?

The closer to nature® soothers (Pure, C-air, and Soft) were created by a bio-medical engineer and a paediatric dentist. They studied the way that the tongue functions and the way that infants suck, and wanted to develop a soother to be more natural and fit more naturally in the mouth.

When a baby sucks on a soother, they build up internal pressure in their mouth, the tongue is low and the cheek muscles push inwards on the palate. Our new soother is designed to have a natural fit in the mouth and gently expands in an umbrella-like fashion to support the palate and maintain its natural shape.

There are a lot of orthodontic shaped soothers on the market today, but what we have developed is a soother that provides an orthodontic function.

This soother promotes safe and healthy oral development because of its natural fit and unique attributes in the design of the teat.

Q: How do I clean my closer to nature® soother?

You should wash the soother in warm, soapy water. We would them recommend you sterilise the soother in your steriliser.

Q: How often should I change my child’s soother?

We recommend that you should change your child’s soother every month. We also recommend you follow the age stage guidance shown on the soother packaging. The age guide is important as the size and scale of the baglet on the soother changes as the child grows and develops.
