FAQs
How often should I replace the teats?
Replace teats every 1-2 months, or sooner if they show signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, tears, or stickiness. Always inspect the teats before each use.
Can I use these teats with other bottle brands?
No, these teats are designed to be used with NUK First Choice+ bottles only.
How do I sterilize the teats?
You can sterilize the teats by boiling them for 5 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or using microwave sterilizing bags.
What is the purpose of the anti-colic system?
The anti-colic system helps to reduce the amount of air swallowed by the baby during feeding, which can help prevent colic symptoms.
Are these teats BPA-free?
Yes, NUK teats are BPA-free.
What is the difference between silicone and latex teats?
Silicone teats are more durable and last longer than latex teats. They are also more resistant to wear and tear. Latex teats are softer but may need replacing more frequently.
What is the appropriate size teat for my baby?
The size 2 teats with a large hole is designed for babies. Consult with your pediatrician for specific recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Teat collapses during feeding.
Ensure the vent is open and not blocked. Check the teat for any tears or blockages, and ensure the bottle ring is not screwed on too tightly.
Baby is taking a long time to feed or seems frustrated.
Check the teat size and flow rate. The medium feed hole may not be suitable. Try a teat with a different hole size.
Excessive leakage.
Ensure the teat is properly assembled and screwed tightly onto the bottle. If the problem persists, the teat may be damaged and should be replaced.
Colic symptoms persist.
Ensure the teat is properly assembled with the anti-colic vent open. Consult with your pediatrician for additional advice.
