Age and Flow Rate: The "15+" indicates it's suitable for babies from 15 months of age and beyond. This corresponds to the fastest flow rate in the line, often denoted by a "LLL" or "3L" size. It uses a "Y-cut" or similar design that allows milk to flow out with pressure, enabling babies to control the flow and train their sucking ability as they grow.
Wide Neck Design: This nipple is specifically designed to fit Pigeon's wide-neck feeding bottles. The wider base encourages a wider latch, similar to a baby latching onto a mother's breast, which can make it easier for babies to switch between breast and bottle feeding without confusion.
Material: It is made from 100% silicone, a material known for being soft, flexible, and durable. The texture and design are intended to allow a baby to latch on easily and securely.
Anti-Colic System: Like other Pigeon nipples, this one features an Air Ventilation System (AVS). This system is designed to regulate air pressure inside the bottle, ensuring a smooth milk flow and reducing the intake of air, which can cause gas and colic.
Natural Sucking Pattern: Pigeon's nipples are designed to replicate the three key steps of a baby's natural sucking behavior: latching on, peristaltic tongue movement, and swallowing. This makes for a more comfortable and natural feeding experience for the baby.
Durability and Hygiene: The silicone material is firm yet soft and is designed to be collapse-resistant. These nipples are also easy to sterilize using various methods, including boiling, steam, chemical, or UV sterilization.
