Soothers satisfy the natural sucking need and can also make it easier to switch from gavage feeding to breastfeeding or bottle feeding.* 7 years of intensive research and development have gone into our MAM Preemies as well as the MAM Comfort. The soothers for premature babies and newborns have been perfected in collaboration with experts.

The results are unique one-piece constructions made of 100% silicone, which meet the special requirements of daily hospital use and optimally fulfil all safety aspects.

Our MAM Preemies are available in two sizes and are for hospital use only. Our MAM Comfort for premature babies from 1,400g birth weight can also be used at home.

The small shield design leaves more space for breathing masks and other medical devices. (Fig. 1)

The small size means that the lip and tongue muscles are not overworked. The particularly small teats are very well accepted by babies and are optimally adapted to the special needs of premature babies and newborns.

The symmetrical shape means that both soother types are always correctly positioned in the mouth, which makes it easier for hospital sta to handle them

Our MAM Preemies and MAM Comfort are suitable for cleaning and germ reduction in autoclaves (up to 134°C/273°F).

MAM Preemies Size 1 & 2 can be custom fitted & tailored if needed.

MAM has been suppor ting babies in their individual deve lopment for more than 45 year s.

Clinical experts confirm positive characteristics: Thanks to their low weight, they are easy for tiny babies to hold in their mouths, which means that it is not necessary to repeatedly o er the soothers.

Note: MAM Preemies size 1 & 2 are medical devices (CE) for premature babies and they are only suitable for hospital use. They are intended to compensate for the sucking and swallowing weaknesses in premature babies. They therefore do not comply with EN1400 and 16 CFR 1511, and must not be taken home.
