Each Level 1 Teat provides a consistent flow rate for predictable feeding. Combined with the anti-colic internal vent system, this teat offers vacuum-free feeding that is clinically proven to reduce colic, decrease spit-up, burping, and gas. It also helps preserve nutrients and aids in digestion. Made of super-soft, high-grade silicone, it fits all Dr. Brown’s Narrow Bottles. The slow-flow teat is suitable for 0+ months, though baby’s preferred flow rate may vary. It is dishwasher (top rack) and steriliser safe. The breast-like teat shape encourages a proper latch for a natural bottle feeding experience, easing the transition between breast and bottle.

FAQs
How often should I replace the teats?
It is recommended to replace teats every 6-8 weeks or sooner if they show signs of wear and tear.
Can I use these teats with other bottle brands?
No, these teats are designed specifically for Dr. Brown's Narrow Bottles.
Are these teats BPA-free?
Yes, all Dr. Brown's teats are BPA-free.
Can I use these teats in a microwave?
No. Microwaving the teats is not recommended, as it can damage the material. Sterilize using a sterilizer or by boiling.
How do I know if the flow rate is right for my baby?
Observe your baby during feeding. If they are taking too long or getting frustrated, you may need a different flow rate. Consult with your pediatrician if you have concerns.
How do I clean the internal vent system?
The vent system should be disassembled and cleaned with warm, soapy water. Use the cleaning brush provided or a specialized bottle brush to thoroughly clean all parts. Rinse well and allow to dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Teat collapses during feeding.
Ensure the vent system is correctly assembled and that the teat is not too tight on the bottle collar. Check for any blockages in the vent system.
Baby is taking too long to feed.
The Level 1 teat is a slow flow. If your baby is frustrated, it may be time to try a teat with a faster flow rate. Ensure that the bottle is not tilted too far, or too little during feeding.
Excessive leaking from the bottle.
Make sure the teat is properly secured to the bottle and that the collar is tightened correctly. Check for any damage or wear and tear on the teat.
