Material Choice and Safety Standards
Pigeon selects PPSU for the SoftTouch 240ml bottle because this polymer resists scratches and clouding while remaining lightweight. Parents concerned about BPA and other chemicals find PPSU a reliable alternative that meets strict global safety regulations.
The ocean dive color uses dyes tested for migration and compliance, ensuring that vibrant visuals do not compromise safety. High-temperature sterilization and repeated use do not degrade the material, which retains clarity and strength over months of daily feeding.
Design for Paced, Breastfeeding-Friendly Feeds
How the SoftTouch Nipple Supports Natural Latch
The SoftTouch nipple is engineered to be soft and responsive, encouraging babies to regulate flow naturally. Its shape and texture support a deeper, more comfortable latch similar to breastfeeding, which can reduce early weaning and support longer nursing relationships.
Flow Rate and Anti-Colic Engineering
Designed as a slow-flow option, this bottle works well for newborns and older infants transitioning between breast and bottle. The integrated vent system balances internal pressure, so milk flows smoothly without large gulps or uncomfortable air intake.
Practical Use, Cleaning, and Storage
Each Pigeon SoftTouch BPP 240ml ocean dive bottle is built to integrate smoothly into busy family routines. The wide base allows thorough brushing of interior surfaces, and the components are compatible with most standard bottle brushes and sterilizers.
Daily cleaning with warm water and mild soap, followed by complete air drying, helps maintain hygiene. Storing the assembled components in a clean, covered location minimizes exposure to dust and reduces the need for frequent deep cleaning sessions.
