NUK South Africa - the best products for all your babies needs.

They have only just been born and already they are trying to tell us what they need: babies. We would like to understand what babies require right from day one. The needs of three month old infants are different to those of eight month old babies who are battling with their first tooth. From the first idea until the finished NUK product we take our time. It is midwives, paediatricians, dentists, nutritionists and, of course, parents who predominantly know all about the needs of babies and children. We use their knowledge and experience when we are devising new products and services or want to improve existing ones. Our Quality Control ensures that NUK products arrive on the baby shelfves in exactly the same high quality, for which NUK has been known for 60 years. So soothers calm not only babies but their parents as well. Not every child is lucky enough to come into the world at the right time and in the best of health. For children who require help sucking after their birth, NUK has developed special products that are used in most German clinics with neonatal wards. MedicPro products have been developed for many years in close collaboration with medical professionals and meet the highest quality standards. Every year in Germany around 60,000 babies come into the world too early. A completely new product is the smallest bottle in the clinic range: it has a capacity of just 45ml and a measurement indicator with millimetre precision, so that the smallest amounts of breast milk or infant formula can be measured exactly. Made out of high-quality polypropylene, it offers the optimal way to feed premature and newborn babies. A medical product for treating children of school age and adults. The NUK Teat Trainer, as a therapeutic tool, makes an important contribution to improving poor sucking skills and to helping rectify oral motor dysfunction (e.g. breathing through the mouth, problems with sucking, chewing, swallowing, speaking and facial gestures). Unrelenting bad habits such as grinding or clenching teeth and tongue thrusting, associated with pain and jaw cracking, can also be effectively treated. The NUK Teat Trainer can be used in speech therapy, orthodontics and physiotherapy too, as part of PADOVAN myotherapy. The method, named after the speech therapist Beatriz Padovan, is a holistic therapy, which observes certain movement patterns of the human development process and makes the patients consciously aware of them. Through conscious breathing, sucking, chewing and swallowing, complex speech impairments can be corrected. Also suitable for stroke patients after consulting their doctor. The NUK X-ray Teat was developed to make the administering of contrast materials during the x-ray examinations of babies and small children easier. Using a syringe, the special teat enables the exact dosage of the contrast material to be given. The natural sucking reflex of babies ensures that the contrast material goes through the tube and teat into the mouth and finally reaches the stomach and intestine.
