Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Baby Bottle Teats - Fast Flow - Pack of 2
Loved by mums and babies, our award-winning, easy latch-on, breast-like teat feels closer to skin ...Loved by mums and babies, our award-winning, easy latch-on, breast-like teat feels closer to skin and mimics the natural flex and movement of a breast. Our bottle teats are shaped to encourage a natural latch, reducing air intake and preventing nipple confusion when switching between breast, bottle and back again. Tommee Tippee Natural Start teats feature an innovative anti-colic valve which reduces air ingestion, helping to reduce the symptoms of colic. The soft silicone teat flexes and stretches like a breast and allows your baby to feed comfortably at their own pace. Tommee Tippee Natural Start teats are available in varying flow rates, to keep up with your baby's growth. All Tommee Tippee teats are BPA free for added peace of mind.
For parents seeking to support their baby's feeding journey, the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Easi-vent Fast Flow Teats (6m+) offer a breast-like feel and natural latch to ease the transition between breast and bottle. These teats are designed for babies aged 6 months and older who are ready for a faster flow, helping to reduce air intake and minimize colic symptoms. While highly effective for their intended purpose and compatible with Closer to Nature bottles, it's crucial to ensure the fast flow rate is appropriate for your individual baby's feeding pace.

FAQs
What age are these teats suitable for?
These Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Easi-vent Fast Flow Teats are specifically designed for babies aged 6 months and older. This age guidance is based on the faster flow rate of the teat, suitable for babies with developing feeding abilities.
Can I use these teats with other bottle brands?
No, these teats are exclusively designed to fit Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature baby bottles. They are not compatible with other brands or other Tommee Tippee bottle ranges like the Anti-Colic Plus or Advanced Anti-Colic bottles.
How often should I replace my Tommee Tippee teats?
For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended to replace teats every 2-3 months, or sooner if you notice any signs of wear, damage, or discolouration. Regularly inspect them for cracks or tears.
How do I clean and sterilize these teats?
After each use, wash the teats in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. They are suitable for all standard sterilization methods: steam (electric or microwave), boiling for 5 minutes, or cold water sterilization solution. Always follow the instructions provided by your sterilizer's manufacturer.
Are these teats BPA-free?
Yes, all Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature teats, including the Easi-vent Fast Flow Teats, are made from BPA-free materials for your peace of mind and your baby's safety.
How do I know if the fast flow is right for my baby?
Observe your baby during feeding. If they are feeding efficiently without excessive gulping, coughing, or milk spilling, the flow is likely appropriate. If they seem to struggle, pull away frequently, or get frustrated, the flow might be too fast or too slow. Adjust the flow rate according to your baby's individual needs.
Troubleshooting
Teat collapses during feeding.
This often indicates that the anti-colic valve might be blocked or not functioning correctly. Ensure the Easi-vent valve is clean and clear before each feed. Also, check that the screw ring is not overtightened, which can restrict airflow. If the issue persists, the teat may need replacing.
Baby struggles with fast flow, coughs or gags.
Even at 6m+, not all babies are ready for a fast flow. Observe your baby's feeding cues. If they are struggling, consider reverting to a medium flow teat (3m+) or consulting with a healthcare professional to ensure the flow rate matches your baby's feeding development.
Milk leaks from around the screw ring.
Ensure the teat is pulled through the screw ring correctly and securely. The screw ring itself should be tightened firmly onto the bottle, but do not overtighten. Check for any damage or tears on the teat or bottle neck that could cause leaks. Replace damaged parts immediately.
Teat looks discoloured or cloudy.
This can happen over time due to repeated sterilization or contact with certain foods/liquids. If the teat is discoloured but otherwise intact, it may still be safe to use, but if you have concerns about hygiene or degradation, it's best to replace it.
