Product Information

Im using avent ones, do you have any recommendations? As teats can be all different sizes like avent teats are wide. NCT advice says: "Once they’re older and used to bottle-feeding, you could move to a medium flow. Just follow your baby’s lead to see what teat is right for them. Some babies prefer to stay on the slow flow teats for many months. You can also buy variflow teats where the flow rate can be varied."

If your baby has to let go of the teat, is spilling milk, is getting too much milk to swallow or milk is dripping between the lips and the teat, the flow rate might be too fast and you should change to a teat with a lower flow rate. So I've worked in a baby department and have the knowledge about when to change teats but my son was born low birth weight so for him I had to make adjustments and that put me off guard. Follow your baby’s lead to see what teat is right for them. Some babies prefer to stay on the slow flow teats for many months. You can also buy variflow teats where the flow rate can be varied.' Above are the signs baby needs faster flow teat. Babies usually start on a slow teat, but they move to a faster teat as time goes on. However, the question that bothers the mother is, ‘when do I know my baby is not comfortable with the teat he is using?’ The Slow Flow teat (with the number 2 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 1+ months old that are breastfed and bottle-fed.

The Newborn teat (with the number 1 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 0+ months old that are breastfed and bottle-fed. There are two reasons why a teat will collapse, one is an indication that your baby is ready for a faster flowing teat, or that the valve has reformed within the teat. Teats are available for 0m, 0m+, 1m+, 3m+ and 6m+. See image below for an overview. These Philips Avent Natural teats can be used on the Philips Avent Natural feeding bottle and Philips Avent storage cups. https://www.nct.org.uk/baby-toddler/feeding/practical-tips/what-bottles-and-teats-do-you-need-for-babies

All bottle components are suitable for sterilisation by steam (electric or microwave), UV light, boiling or cold water tablet/liquid sterilisation.Are you searching for signs that show a baby needs faster flow teat? Feeding is sometimes difficult for some babies. This situation is usually temporary. The first thing to do is observe your baby and find out their temperament when eating. This would go a long way in helping you know when your baby’s teat needs to be changed. The Sonicare brush head replacement subscription is all about bringing convenience to your healthy smile. Our Closer to Nature® teats are made from a very sensitive soft silicone, therefore they may reform when not in use for long periods of time, for example, when in storage.
