Product Information

You can see rough similarities in the banding between them – but remember that one brand’s slow flow rate won’t necessarily be identical to another’s.

Appropriate if your child has shown consistent feeding with no difficulties and is taking larger amounts at the breast and bottle. With newborns, especially premature babies, the teat flow rate can actually be faster than your infant can tolerate. If your baby is exhibiting any of these signs while eating, you may want to try a slower flow (lower level) teat:Dexter started going less time between feeds.Again, all fits in the above. He went from having a bottle four hourly to wanting it three hourly. Waking in the night

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. How long do teats last? So if you’re noticing a sudden change in your baby’s behaviour then you should cycle through the usual possibilities – growth spurt, developmental leap, sleep regression, teething– and add bottle flow rate to the list! It’s best to replace teats at regular intervals – at least every two to three months – as washing and sterilising will wear on the material. What is Colic? Colic causes are common when a baby swallows too much air during the feeding process. If your baby seems unsettled after their feeds, our anti-colic baby feeding bottles reduces baby colic by up to 80%**. The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles feature a vented base to reduce the air intake during feeds.While most bottles offer various teat levels that are tied to an age range (for example, 3 months+), every infant has their own feeding style, which is not necessarily a reflection of their age or size. You almost don’t notice how much a teat can have become worn until you switch to a brand new one and feel the difference. Final thoughts on changing flow speeds The Philips Avent teats come in six different sizes. The smallest of which is ideal for preemie babies, and the range goes up to a fast flow. To some babies, yes teat size matters. This is because the size and flow rate of different sized teats might not always suit your baby’s feeding habits. But it’s pretty common for a baby to be perfectly content with one teat size the whole time they’re bottle feeding, but the flow rate will need to change over time as they develop. All Tommee Tippee teats are the same size, but with different flow options. Can a faster flow teat make reflux worse? However in other instances I was stumped as to why their feeding had suddenly gone haywire and they were more agitated.
