Silicone nipples are the sturdier of the two. They also clean more easily and don't retain odors. But your baby won't find them as soft in her mouth as a latex nipple. Latex is more flexible, but because it's softer, your baby will probably wear it out faster. You'll want to avoid latex if you have any reason to think your baby might have a latex allergy.
The Continental Congress. In 1774, the British Parliament passed a series of laws collectively known as the Intolerable Acts, with the intent to suppress unrest in colonial Boston by closing the port and placing it under martial law. In response, colonial protestors led by a group called the Sons of Liberty issued a call for a boycott.
Spurred by local pressure groups, colonial legislatures empowered delegates to attend a Continental Congress which would set terms for a boycott. The colony of Connecticut was the first to respond. The Congress first met in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774, with delegates from each of the 13 colonies except Georgia. On October 20, the Congress adopted the Articles of Association, which stated that if the Intolerable Acts were not repealed by December 1, 1774, a boycott of British goods would begin in the colonies.
