FAQs

How often should I replace the teats?

It is recommended to replace the teats every 6-8 weeks, or sooner if they show signs of wear and tear.

Are these teats suitable for premature babies?

No, these Y-cut teats are designed for babies 9 months and older who are consuming thicker liquids. Consult with your pediatrician for appropriate teat choices for premature babies.

Can I use these teats with other bottle brands?

No, these teats are designed specifically for Dr. Brown's wide-neck bottles. Using them with other brands may result in leaks or improper feeding.

How do I know if the flow rate is suitable for my baby?

Observe your baby during feeding. If they seem to be taking too long, getting frustrated, or falling asleep, the flow might be too slow. If they are gulping or choking, the flow might be too fast. Always consult with your pediatrician.

Can I use a bottle brush to clean the teats?

Yes, a bottle brush is recommended for cleaning the teats thoroughly. Ensure you use a brush designed for teats to avoid damaging them.

Are the teats microwave safe?

Yes, but only for sterilizing. Do not use the teats in a microwave for warming milk.

What does the 'Y-cut' mean?

The 'Y-cut' refers to the shape of the hole in the teat, designed to allow for a faster flow of thicker liquids.

Troubleshooting

Teat is collapsing or inverting during feeding.

Ensure the vent is properly aligned and the bottle is not over-tightened. Check for any blockages in the teat itself.

Baby is taking in too much air and experiencing discomfort.

Check if the teat is correctly assembled and the flow rate is appropriate for your baby. Consider using a slower flow teat if the issue persists.

The teat is leaking.

Make sure the teat is correctly positioned in the collar and that the collar is screwed onto the bottle tightly. Check for any damage to the teat.
