The Medela Calma Teat stops the flow of milk to pause and breathe. The maternal breast remains the same throughout the breastfeeding period, as does the Calma teat.

Operation

Just like when taking the nipple, baby takes the Calma pacifier by creating a suction effect. After establishing the suction, baby uses his tongue to measure the intensity of the suction. The flow of milk through the teat is stopped when the suction is maintained at the base point. However, when baby increases the intensity of sucking, Calma allows the passage of milk through the teat, towards the baby's mouth.

Conventional pacifiers change sucking technique

Conventional pacifiers have the effect of modifying the mechanism used by babies to feed; essentially, this means that the latter must learn a new technique for feeding. Usually, this technique requires less effort from the baby. In the long run, he finds this technique easier to apply (since the milk flows freely); also sometimes he refuses to return to the more rigorous technique (requiring suction) that he must use when he feeds at the mother's breast. This more rigorous technique is essential for maxillofacial development in babies, and those who do not use it may be more prone to developing ear infections and dental malocclusion.
