Unlike latex teats, NUK Silicone Teats are made of a high-quality polymer synthetic material. This transparent silicone is heat and age-resistant as well as being very easy to clean. However, silicone is not as soft and flexible as latex, and is prone to cracking. A silicone teat should be replaced immediately at the first signs of cracking or other damage.

Generally speaking, all teats, whether they are made of silicone or latex, should be replaced every 1 to 2 months.

Which material you choose, depends on your individual wishes or preferences and those of your baby too. Of course, you can switch from one type of teat to the other.
