Cleft Palate Soft Bottle 240mL
The Pigeon Cleft Palate Soft Bottle is specially designed to assist babies with feeding difficulties due to a cleft palate. Crafted from soft polypropylene in an ergonomic oval shape, the cleft palate baby bottle allows for comfortable handling by allowing caregivers to control milk flow through gentle squeezing.
The larger, specialised teat makes it easier for babies to latch on and drink compared to standard teats. The bottle teat’s innovative design, thicker on one side and thinner on the other, enables easier milk intake when the baby lightly presses with their tongue and mouth. Additionally, a milk flow regulator prevents liquid from going in the wrong direction.
As each cleft palate is unique use the regular teat when your baby is ready to accept it. The small teat is recommended for newborns.
Includes 1 x small and 1 x regular cleft palate silicone teat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Pigeon Cleft Palate Soft Bottle used for?
This bottle is specially designed for babies with a cleft palate or weak sucking strength. Its soft polypropylene body allows caregivers to gently squeeze the bottle, helping to regulate milk flow during feeds.
How is the teat on this bottle designed differently?
The teat has a unique shape, one side is thicker and the other thinner so that babies can draw milk even with minimal tongue pressure. It also includes a milk‑flow regulator and a one‑way valve to prevent milk from flowing back.
Why might I use this bottle instead of a standard feeding bottle for a baby with a cleft palate?
Pigeon's Cleft Palate Soft Bottle supports correct milk flow and latch for babies with a cleft palate. For more advice on feeding tools for babies with special needs, see Pigeon’s Best Bottles for Babies with Special Needs blog.
How should I clean and sterilise this bottle?
Disassemble the bottle and wash it thoroughly after each use using warm soapy water. Rinse well, then sterilise the bottle, teat and collar using your preferred method (boiling, steam, or chemical steriliser). Make sure all parts are fully dry before reassembling.
