Product Information

Full details

These Tommee Tippee Natural Start teats are ideal for newborns or babies who need a very gentle feeding experience. Their primary benefit is mimicking a natural latch, which can ease the transition between breast and bottle feeding. A potential consideration is that the extra-slow flow may not suit faster-eating babies as they grow. This pack contains two teats designed with a breast-like shape and an anti-colic valve to reduce air ingestion, ensuring comfortable feeding for your baby.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What age is the extra-slow flow teat suitable for?

The extra-slow flow teat is generally recommended for newborns and premature babies, or any baby who requires a very gentle and controlled milk intake.

How do I clean the anti-colic valve?

The anti-colic valve is designed to work automatically. When washing the teat, ensure water flows through the valve. A small brush can be used gently if any residue is visible.

Can I use these teats with other brands of baby bottles?

No, these Tommee Tippee Natural Start teats are designed specifically for and compatible only with Tommee Tippee Natural Start baby bottles.

How often should I replace the teats?

It is recommended to replace teats every 2-3 months, or sooner if they show any signs of damage, wear, or deterioration.

Are these teats BPA-free?

Yes, all Tommee Tippee teats are made from soft, BPA-free silicone for your baby's safety.

What is the main benefit of the breast-like shape?

The breast-like shape is designed to encourage a natural latch, making it easier for babies to switch between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding without confusion.

Can I use these teats for thicker feeds?

The extra-slow flow teat is intended for standard formula or breast milk. For thicker liquids, you may need to consider a faster flow rate teat from the Tommee Tippee range.

Troubleshooting

Baby is not latching properly

Ensure the teat is correctly inserted into the bottle ring. Try holding the bottle at a more horizontal angle. Check if the baby is comfortable and if the teat shape feels familiar.

Milk flow seems too slow or stops intermittently

Check the anti-colic valve for any blockages. Ensure the teat is not collapsed. Warm milk slightly, as very cold milk can be thicker and flow slower.

Baby shows signs of frustration during feeding

While this is an extra-slow flow, if the baby seems consistently frustrated, they might be ready for a slightly faster flow teat. Consult the Tommee Tippee range for available flow rates.

Teat appears damaged or worn

Immediately discard and replace the teat. Continued use of a damaged teat can pose a choking hazard or affect feeding.
