Product Information

Paying attention to how your infant drinks and reacts is critical to determining when to switch Avent nipple sizes. When To Switch To Another Nipple Flow Level? (upgrade level) 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. 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.

I noticed with both teats and breast pump parts, such as filters, how the plastic seems to just degrade over time. However, while this may be recommended, Avent nipple sizes also go to 2 and 3 for a reason. Not every child is the same.The Newborn teat (with the number 1 on the teat) is recommended for babies of 0+ months. It is ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all ages. The Natural First Flow teat (with the number 0 on the teat) can be used from day 1 and when switching from breastfeeding to bottle-feeding. It has an extra soft silicone teat and it is the lowest flow rate available. In general, we recommend following the below guidelines for getting started on the appropriate size Avent nipple.

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.The other option is the Variable Flow Nipple, which is suitable for infants who are three months old and older.

If your child seems generally happy and healthy, chances are that you already have the right size nipple.

So if you’re noticing a sudden change in your baby’s behaviour then you should cycle through the usual possibilities – growth spurt, developmental leap, sleep regression, teething– and add bottle flow rate to the list! After that, infants who are three to six months old should be happy with the Medium Flow nipple. This one has three holes.
