Product description
The third-generation SofTouch series continues to reflect Pigeon’s understanding of the Three Key Factors of Sucking Process: Attachment, Peristaltic tongue movement, and Swallowing. Pigeon identified the Three Key Factors since the development of the first generation of SofTouch products, and has been striving to raise awareness of them ever since. For the third generation of SofTouch, even softer silicone than before was used to recreate the softness and elasticity of a mother’s breast. The Latch-on Line, which serves as a guide for how deeply babies should latch on to the nipple, was designed based on Pigeon’s research into latching on as one of the Key Factors. Throughout the development process, Pigeon worked to create a nursing bottle to support even first-time users, allowing mothers and fathers to feed their babies without difficulty.
1. Latch-on Line Supports Proper Latch-on
- To appropriately guide babies to latch-on, one of the key factors of nursing, the third-generation SofTouch series includes a new Latch-on Line indicating how deeply the nipple should be taken into the mouth.
2. Newly Developed Soft Nipple Silicone Allows Natural Peristaltic Tongue Movement
The third-generation SofTouch series makes use of a silicone material newly developed in collaboration with a materials manufacturer solely for SofTouch nipples. This material allows babies to use the same smooth wavelike tongue movement they do when drinking directly from the breast, and is even closer in softness to a real nipple than the current generation of SofTouch products
