FAQs

How often should I replace these teats?

For hygiene and safety, it's recommended to replace teats at least every two months. You should also replace them sooner if you notice any signs of wear, damage, stickiness, or enlargement.

Are these teats compatible with all Tommee Tippee bottles?

No, these teats are specifically designed for use with Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature baby bottles. They are not compatible with the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic range or other bottle types.

What age is the medium flow teat suitable for?

The medium flow teat is generally suitable for babies aged 3 months and older. However, every baby feeds differently, so always observe your baby's feeding cues to ensure the flow rate is appropriate for their development.

How do I clean and sterilize these teats?

Clean them thoroughly with warm soapy water and rinse before and after each use, or use the top rack of a dishwasher. For sterilization, you can boil them for 5 minutes, use an electric or microwave steam sterilizer, or a cold water sterilizing solution.

What is the anti-colic valve and how does it work?

The anti-colic valve is an innovative feature designed to reduce air ingestion during feeding. It allows air to vent away from your baby's tummy, helping to alleviate symptoms of colic and discomfort. Ensure it is positioned upwards during feeding.

Can I use these teats if I am combination feeding?

Yes, these teats are specifically designed with a breast-like shape and feel to make switching between breast and bottle, and back again, easier for your baby. This makes them ideal for combination feeding.

Is the material safe for my baby?

Yes, Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Teats are made from soft, durable silicone and are completely BPA-free for your peace of mind and your baby's safety.

Troubleshooting

Baby seems to be taking in too much air or is gassy.

Ensure the anti-colic valve on the side of the teat is facing upwards during feeding to allow air to escape. Also, check that the valve is not blocked or stuck together.

Milk flow seems too fast for my baby.

The medium flow teat provides a steady flow. If your baby is gulping or struggling, they might need a slower flow teat. Consider trying a Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature slow flow teat.

Milk flow seems too slow or baby is frustrated.

Check that the vent hole on the teat is clear and not blocked. If the medium flow is still too slow for your baby's age or feeding style, they might require a faster flow teat, such as a fast flow or vari-flow option.

Teat collapses during feeding.

This can happen if the anti-colic valve is blocked or if there is too much suction. Ensure the valve is clean and clear. If the problem persists, the teat may be worn and need replacing.

Teat is leaking where it connects to the bottle.

Ensure the teat is correctly seated and pulled through the screw ring completely. Also, make sure the screw ring is tightened securely onto the bottle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Natural Latch Promotion: Designed to feel and move like a breast, aiding natural latch and reducing nipple confusion.

  • Regular Replacement Needed: Teats require periodic replacement due to wear and tear or hygiene reasons.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Inspect: Before first use and after each use, inspect the teat for any tears, cracks, or signs of wear. Replace immediately if damaged.
  2. Attach: Place the teat into the screw ring. Gently pull the teat through until it is securely seated.
  3. Assemble: Screw the assembled teat and ring onto your Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature baby bottle. Ensure it is tightly fastened to prevent leaks.
  4. Positioning: When feeding, ensure the anti-colic valve on the side of the teat is facing upwards, allowing air to escape effectively.
