Step 3: Place the screw ring with teat in the bottle base. Place the bottle body on it (optionally screw in slightly to avoid pouring out hot water by removing the bottle from microwave). Place the protective cap on top. 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. Slow flow is great for breastfed babies when switching between bottle and breast; mimics the slower flow of breastfeeding
Appropriate if your child has shown consistent feeding with no difficulties and is taking larger amounts at the breast and bottle. 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. Our self-sterilising anti-colic baby feeding bottles are multi-award winning, including the Loved By Parents (LPB) Platinum Award 2020, Mother & Baby Awards 2020 and Made for Mums Silver Award in 2019. Some brands have more levels – as many as six different types of teat – providing a little more choice for parents looking to find a teat that’s just right.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. 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? Perfect for travelling babies and parents, the MAM Self-Sterilising baby bottles can be sterilised in just three minutes using a microwave. Pour 20ml water in the base of the container, arrange the components on the top (don't screw!) and in minutes your baby's bottles are safe to use.
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. 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. As a baby’s feeding develops and they are taking a longer time feeding from a Level 1 teat, many parents choose to move up to a Level 2 teat. Just to showcase how much flow rate varies by manufacturer, here is a guide to some of the bigger brands teat flows. When it comes to deciding on changing baby’s teat you can assess both the signs they’re ready as well as their age before taking the leap.
If you’re considering changing the flow of teats before your baby shows signs of being ready, there’s no harm in giving it a go. A Level 1 or newborn teat generally comes on every bottle and is a great starting point for many babies. Made for Mums judge, Melanie said "Self-sterilisation is a good feature, and it's worth the money. Best-looking bottle on the market and great for sterilising on the go." 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.
As a baby’s feeding develops and they are taking a longer time feeding from a Level 3 teat, many parents choose to move up to a Level 4 teat.

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.
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:If you think your baby is ready for the next sized teat there’s no harm in trying it. Below I have listed some of the things to look out for: What are the signs you have the right sized teat? Dexter was around six months old when I changed the teats in his bottle from size 2 to size 3. I had previously attempted to change him to the bigger teats around a month before, but had failed spectacularly. Milk had spilled everywhere, he had choked, gagged, spat out the milk and finally started clamping his mouth shut. Step 2: Fill the base with silicone valve with 20 ml of cool water. The protective cap makes a practical measuring cup.
