Product Information

It was only when I told my problem to another mom that I learned about nipple sizes. It was an awakening experience to learn the truth about nipple sizes, and I’d like to share that knowledge with other parents. Infants who are one to three months old and who are also still breastfeeding should go for the next size up, which is the Slow Flow nipple. This nipple has two holes. The Slow Flow teat (with the number 2 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 1+ months old that are breastfed and bottle-fed.

Some brands have more levels – as many as six different types of teat – providing a little more choice for parents looking to find a teat that’s just right. You can see rough similarities in the banding between them – but remember that one brand’s slow flow rate won’t necessarily be identical to another’s. This one compares to the Newborn Nipple, which as stated above, is ideal for newborns up to a month old, and breastfed babies up to three months old. Age can be an arbitrary number and reference point, though it is still very helpful for getting started.Knowing when to switch Avent nipple sizes is not so challenging, so long as you are aware of how much or little your child is enjoying feeding. Once again, pay attention to the way your baby reacts during and after feeding to see if the feeding is an enjoyable experience for your infant. It’s best to replace teats at regular intervals – at least every two to three months – as washing and sterilising will wear on the material. The Philips Avent teats come in six different sizes. The smallest of which is ideal for preemie babies, and the range goes up to a fast flow.

Variable – features an adjustable flow rate that can be change between 1 and 3 by turning the bottle. Innovative twin valve designed to reduce colic and discomfort by venting air into the bottle and not baby’s tummy. this could be a sign that the nipple size is too large, and the baby is not able to keep up with the flow of milk into his or her mouth. Avent nipples will help to regulate the flow of milk to your child. Your baby will tell you what he or she needs. Within these age divisions and nipple sizes, Avent also offers two more options.The other option is the Variable Flow Nipple, which is suitable for infants who are three months old and older.
