Pigeon reveals the The Surprising Science Behind Pigeon’s Nipple Design
3 key steps of baby sucking
When babies breastfeed, their mouth movements follow the “Three Key Factors of Sucking.”
Latching On – The lips open outward and latch on to the areola.
Tongue Movement – Wave-like tongue movement squeezes the nipple and extract milk.
Swallowing – The back of the tongue rises, channeling milk into the esophagus.
Can a baby bottle truly support this natural process?
Yes—if it is designed to let babies nurse using those mouth movements, rather than simply copying the outward form of a breast.
That means a smoothly curved nipple with no unnecessary complications, shaped to let babies open their mouths wide for deep latch-on.
Developed from over 70 years of breastfeeding research, Pigeon SofTouch™ nipples are designed to facilitate a natural switch between breast and bottle by allowing the same natural sucking motion as when your baby drinks from the breast. Enjoy fuss-free feeding and a greater peace of mind.
