What is the difference between Latex and Silicone?

Latex

• Latex is a high quality, natural material, harvested from plantation trees.
• It is durable, with excellent resistance to pulling, prevents tears from splitting further and is extremely elastic.
• It is a natural product, so fats in the milk as well as exposure to direct sunlight can cause it to age.
• Latex is generally softer than silicone.
• Latex products can cause allergic reactions, generally after repeated exposure. As such, Baby-Nova latex teats are specially formulated to be low allergenic, however, if you are concerned, choose a silicone teat instead.

Silicone

• Silicone is a temperature resistant, high quality plastic, widely used in medical apparatus.
• It is usually easier to clean than latex, but is not as bite resistant and not as soft or flexible.
• Direct sunlight and fats do not cause it to age, however, it is more easily scratched than latex.
  
• As with any baby product, you will need to replace the teat at the first sign of teeth marks or damage.
  

• Which teat you use will depend on your baby's and your personal preferences.
  
• All babies are different, and they all have their own likes and dislikes!
  
• It may be worth purchasing different types of teats at first to see which your baby prefers.
  
• Some babies don't like the new taste of a latex teat, so to take away this taste, just boil the teat for 3 minutes in milk to neutralise the taste.

Safety Standards Compliance:

• European Safety Standard prEN 14350 - 1, 2 Child Use and Care articles - Drinking Equipment

• Always test the teat and bottle before every use.
  
• To test the teat, move it in different directions to ensure that it is sufficiently rupture-proof.
  
• Do not leave the teat in direct sunlight or heat, and do not leave it in disinfectant for longer than recommended (as this may weaken the teat).
  
• Baby-Nova does not advise  sterilising the teat in the microwave.
  
• Change the teat immediately on the first sign of damage.
  
• For safety and hygiene reasons, teats should be replaced every 2 months.
