Pigeon SofTouch Anti-Colic Plastic Nursing Bottle 160ml (0m+)

The Pigeon SofTouch Anti-Colic Plastic Nursing Bottle 160ml (0m+) is a wide-neck baby bottle engineered specifically for newborns. It is highly regarded by parents for its ability to ease the transition between breast and bottle feeding.

Key Features and Specifications

• Capacity and Age Rating: Designed with a 160ml (approx. 5.4 oz) capacity. It is customized for newborns from 0+ months up to early infancy.
• Included Teat Size: Equipped with an SS-size silicone nipple featuring a round-cut opening. This delivers a gradual, steady milk drip requiring minimal suction, perfectly matching a newborn’s undeveloped jaw muscles.
• Anti-Colic Mechanism: Built with a specialized Air Ventilation System (AVS). It controls airflow to drastically minimize swallowed air, reducing the occurrence of gas, spit-up, and colic discomfort.
• Latch-On Line: Features an integrated latching curve guideline. It visually instructs parents on how deep the baby's mouth needs to be for a proper, natural, and secure latch.
• Material Integrity: Made from premium Polypropylene (PP) plastic. It is entirely lightweight, shatterproof, and 100% BPA and BPS free. Newer models use an eco-friendly blend containing 20% bio-based Biomass-PP.

Core Benefits

• Fights Nipple Confusion: Developed using decades of infant sucking behavior research. The super-soft, flexible silicone mimics the texture and peristaltic wave movement of a mother's breast.
• User-Friendly Maintenance: The wide-neck body shape allows parents to scoop formula powder cleanly without spills and ensures easy reach for thorough interior cleaning.
• Versatile Disinfection: The PP plastic material is highly resilient and safe to sanitize using traditional boiling water, steam, UV sterilizers, or chemical solutions.

Best Usage Practices

1. Sanitizing: Always wash and sterilize the bottle, hood, and nipple before the very first use.
2. Angle During Feedings: Hold the bottle at an ergonomic angle to keep the nipple entirely filled with milk, preventing air pockets.
3. Replacement Guidelines: For safety, hygiene, and material integrity, change the silicone nipple every 2 months and the plastic bottle body every 4 to 6 months (or sooner if it becomes cloudy or scratched).
4. Heating Precaution: Avoid heating milk in the microwave directly inside the bottle. Microwaves create localized hot spots that can easily scald your infant's mouth.
