Product Information

Feeding your baby with the wrong Philips Avent nipple sizes can lead to an upset baby, an over-fed baby, or even increase the milk flow too much that it spills out your baby’s mouth. With six different nipple sizes, it can be confusing to know where to start. 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. It has an extra soft silicone teat. If your baby is struggling with their feeds – spluttering, choking coughing – or on the other side of the spectrum becoming agitated and fussy while eating, it could be time to change teats. this could be a sign that the nipple size is too large, and the baby is not able to keep up with the flow of milk into his or her mouth. Avent nipples will help to regulate the flow of milk to your child.

Knowing when to switch Avent nipple sizes is not so challenging, so long as you are aware of how much or little your child is enjoying feeding. Infants who are from three to size months old should be finishing the bottle between fifteen and thirty minutes. The most difficult time is during transitions, though these can still be timely and comfortable for your infant, due to the multiple different nipple sizes that Avent offers.

Your baby will tell you what he or she needs. Within these age divisions and nipple sizes, Avent also offers two more options.

If your baby is both breastfed and bottle-fed, for the first month you should use the Newborn nipple that has one hole. This is called the Newborn nipple. It has one hole, which is easy to remember: one hole for one month old. This one compares to the Newborn Nipple, which as stated above, is ideal for newborns up to a month old, and breastfed babies up to three months old.The Newborn teat (with the number 1 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 0+ months old that are breastfed and bottle-fed. The main reason for these sizes, aside form the growth of the baby, is the fact that newborns cannot keep up with the flow of milk as fast as a baby who is six months old. In general, we recommend following the below guidelines for getting started on the appropriate size Avent nipple. Variable – features an adjustable flow rate that can be change between 1 and 3 by turning the bottle.

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 Natural First Flow teat (with the number 0 on the teat) can be used from day 1 and when switching from breastfeeding to bottle-feeding. It has an extra soft silicone teat and it is the lowest flow rate available. You are likely to change your baby’s teat size every two to three months. But that’s just a rough guide, and some babies may want a faster flow earlier than others.Babies who are 1 to 3 months old and are both breastfed and bottle-fed should use the Slow Flow nipple, which has two holes. The Medium Flow teat (with the number 3 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 3+ months old. It has an extra soft silicone teat. The number 1 is recommended to use regardless of the babies age if alternating between breast and bottle is the practice.

For instance, if you see milk running down your child’s face, this could be an indication of too fast of a flow through the nipple. The Fast Flow teat (with the number 4 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 6+ months old. It has a bite-resistant silicone teat. This sturdier teat is ideal for bottle-feeding.so switching to a higher flow nipple will improve the intake for the little one and keep them satisfied.
