Soothers or dummies as most people call them, have long been an easy way of soothing and settling your little one as they increase the sucking reflex. It is even thought that a child who has a soother during their night sleep could have a reduced risk of SIDS.
When it comes to choosing a new soother, it is important to look for features such as a firm plastic shield with air holes, the age is correct for your child and the soother’s ring or handle can be easily gripped for quick removal if the whole soother enters your child’s mouth. These features are all key to choosing the right soother but what about the sustainability?
NUK is thinking about the sustainable and environmental factors also, and have recently released NUK for Nature soothers, which tick all the boxes for soothers, but are also safe for the environment.
The new NUK for Nature soothers range offers parents a sustainable and climate friendly choice made from 98% natural and renewable raw materials.

As a first time mum, I was getting worried about the environmental impact that comes with having a newborn baby. My household is generally very environmentally conscious and we noticed an increase in our rubbish and use of plastic once baby came along. I love that nuk has provided a more sustainable option for the soothers, which is normally a plastic product in plastic packaging.
From a functionality point of view, I was a little skeptical if bubs would like it – we have tried a few different brands and he usually doesn’t like any. I was therefore very surprised that he liked the nuk soothers. The teat is flat and different to the usually soothers I have tried, which is why I think he prefers these. Definitely worth trying these of your baby had issues with other brands of soothers!

Bub loves these.
We recently changed to Nuk soothers from another brand. I wasn’t even aware they had these soothers for nature. Knowing these are sustainable and a climate friendly choice and better for the environment I will be purchasing these from now on.
Great reliable brand that I used with my older son and now with bub.
It’s good to know big brands are still thinking about the future impacts of products.
