Product Information

Age can be an arbitrary number and reference point, though it is still very helpful for getting started. Having a nipple size that is too fast creates a lousy situation for your baby. It’s like a waterfall going down your baby’s throat, and that can lead to gagging, choking, or milk spilling everywhere. Your baby might try to gulp down the milk faster, leading to additional air going into your child’s stomach, causing colic and gassiness. The main reason for these sizes, aside form the growth of the baby, is the fact that newborns cannot keep up with the flow of milk as fast as a baby who is six months old.

When I was a new parent, I was naïve about the world of bottle nipples. I didn’t know they came in different flow sizes. I just figured they were all the same. But you need to get one that matches your baby’s stage of development. Since I’ve been there, I can help you find out which Philips Avent Nipple Sizes you should be using for your baby. The Natural First Flow teat (with the number 0 on the teat) is recommended for newborns and preemies. This teat can be used from day 1 and when switching from breastfeeding to bottle-feeding. If you’re wondering whether you should change the teat flow, this gives you a rough guide of flow speed by age: Flow rate Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.Feeding your baby with the wrong Philips Avent nipple sizes can lead to an upset baby, an over-fed baby, or even increase the milk flow too much that it spills out your baby’s mouth. With six different nipple sizes, it can be confusing to know where to start.

Variable – features an adjustable flow rate that can be change between 1 and 3 by turning the bottle. Newborn babies will feed for about twenty to forty minutes until they are about three months of age. NUK is a little different from some other manufacturers. It features two different teat sizes and each size comes with S, M and L hole sizes for you to choose from. Then again, if your child is struggling to finish the bottle after forty minutes, the baby probably needs a larger nipple size.

Teats are available for 0m, 0m+, 1m+, 3m+ and 6m+. See image below for an overview. These Philips Avent Natural teats can be used on the Philips Avent Natural feeding bottle and Philips Avent storage cups. so switching to a higher flow nipple will improve the intake for the little one and keep them satisfied. 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.
