Product Information

Practical and emotional support with feeding your baby and general enquiries for parents, members and volunteers. The flow rates of each teat refers to the size or number of holes in the tip, affecting how quickly milk flows into your baby’s mouth. 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.

Place the bottle body on it (optionally screw in slightly to avoid pouring out hot water by removing the bottle from microwave). In which case babies would have very little control over how they feed: milk would flow into their mouth faster than they can swallow it. Before the bottle is placed in the water bath or the bottle warmer, the sealing cap is always removed. With newborns, especially premature babies, the teat flow rate can actually be faster than your infant can tolerate.
