Dexter started going less time between feeds.Again, all fits in the above. He went from having a bottle four hourly to wanting it three hourly. Waking in the night 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.
If you’re considering changing the flow of teats before your baby shows signs of being ready, there’s no harm in giving it a go. Comfort for your baby is vital, and our baby feeding bottles feature the MAM SkinSoft teat, which has a 94% acceptance rate*. What is Colic? Colic causes are common when a baby swallows too much air during the feeding process. If your baby seems unsettled after their feeds, our anti-colic baby feeding bottles reduces baby colic by up to 80%**. The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles feature a vented base to reduce the air intake during feeds.
To some babies, yes teat size matters. This is because the size and flow rate of different sized teats might not always suit your baby’s feeding habits. But it’s pretty common for a baby to be perfectly content with one teat size the whole time they’re bottle feeding, but the flow rate will need to change over time as they develop. All Tommee Tippee teats are the same size, but with different flow options. Can a faster flow teat make reflux worse? The Philips Avent teats come in six different sizes.

Can I buy bottles with faster flowing teats? Made for Mums judge, Melanie said "Self-sterilisation is a good feature, and it's worth the money. Best-looking bottle on the market and great for sterilising on the go." After this experience, I decided after reading online that many babies don’t need to increase the teat size that he must be ones of those babies, but then, not long later, Dexter started displaying a few key signs that he was indeed ready to move up to a faster flowing teat. Appropriate if your child has shown consistent feeding with no difficulties and is taking larger amounts at the breast and bottle. If the hole in a baby bottle teat is too large and the flow rate is too fast for your baby, then it is possible for excess air to flow through with the milk and increase the likelihood of reflux. How long do teats last?
If you’re unsure if they’re ready, rest assured there’s no exact science to when it’s time to change up the flow rate on your baby’s bottle. 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. 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.
I noticed with both teats and breast pump parts, such as filters, how the plastic seems to just degrade over time. Slow flow is great for breastfed babies when switching between bottle and breast; mimics the slower flow of breastfeeding As a baby’s feeding develops and they are taking a longer time feeding from a Level 1 teat, many parents choose to move up to a Level 2 teat. With newborns, especially premature babies, the teat flow rate can actually be faster than your infant can tolerate. If your baby is exhibiting any of these signs while eating, you may want to try a slower flow (lower level) teat: This will vary depending on the manufacturer – as there is no industry standard for teat sizes.

The MAM Baby range features four different flow sizes for teats. Confusingly their final size is called Size x, not size 4, and is an extra fast flow according to the manufacturer. You almost don’t notice how much a teat can have become worn until you switch to a brand new one and feel the difference. Final thoughts on changing flow speeds
