1. The benefits of soothers
MAM Preemie soothers are intended to be used for premature babies up to a maximum body weight
of 1,500 g under medical supervision to compensate the typically present suck and swallow deficiency.
Soothers help to satisfy the natural sucking urge of babies. Babies can benefit from the pain-relieving effect
of soothers during medical interventions. Furthermore, soothers help with the switch from gavage feeding to
breastfeeding or bottle feeding as it trains the oral musculature. The soother is one of the many preventive
strategies against sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
