Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Baby Bottle Teats, Breast-Like, Anti-Colic Valve, Soft Silicone, Medium-Flow, 3m+, Pack of 2

Product Information

My DS was just making such an effort out of drinking his bottles that most of the time he would end up leaving some or chewing the teat because he just couldn't be bothered to keep sucking! The unique NaturalWave® design enables a wider latch-on, similar to a baby’s natural latch and with a super soft and flexible design, the silicone teat allows baby to control the milk flow so baby can enjoy a comfortable feed. Our easy latch-on teat has been designed with breastfeeding experts to mimic the natural flex, stretch and movement of a mum’s breast. Straight away I noticed Lily would take ages to finish a bottle and she'd be sucking with so much force that the teat would collapse in on itself. My daughter was on number 1 but was sucking so hard she kept popping off the teat (hope that makes sense!

If the hole in a baby bottle teat is too large and the flow rate is too fast for your baby, then it is possible for excess air to flow through with the milk and increase the likelihood of reflux. Most baby bottles offer varying teat levels for different age ranges (usually slow flow for 0+ months, medium flow for 3+ months, and fast flow for 6+ months), meaning you can approximately judge which teat size might be the best based on your baby’s age. sometimes its taking him ages to finish a bottle (an hour and 10 minutes for 5oz lastnight) but sometimes he guzzles it down no problem so i just dont know what to think!With the variable flow teat, you can adjust the flow rate according to the liquid's thickness and suit baby's feeding rhythm perfectly.

We’ve put together this handy ‘asked and answered’ guide for parents to help you understand the different sizes, styles, and flow rates of baby bottle teats. I do think its important to try get babies onto fast flow when they are around this age just so they can drink more milk before their weaning stages start.If you are exclusively bottle feeding your baby, whether formula or expressed breastmilk, you might want around four to six bottles and teats to get you started. However where the milk flow is too fast and not in your baby's control, it is more likely to cause indigestion or gas (Kellymom, 2020). Just wondering how old your lo was when you switched their teats from slow flow to medium flow teats? With my two babies I sometimes changed at just the right moment before they even showed any signs of needing to and it was seamless. Slow flow is from 0-3 months medium is from 3-6 and fast from 6 onwards but these are guidelines only and as i said before Ellie managed fine on the medium from less than 1 week old.
