Pack of 2 teats.
AVENT teats are made from soft pure medical grade silicone and shaped to mimic the breast in form and function. Breast fed babies will accept the AVENT teat more easily and will happily go back to the breast, so combining breast and bottle feeding is easier with AVENT. AVENT teats never collapse and have been clinically proven to reduce colic in newborn babies.
Choosing the right teat for your baby The chart below will help you select the right flow rate for your baby. However, please remember that age indications are approximate as babies develop at different rates. You will know when your baby is ready to move onto a faster flow rate because he or she will try to suck harder to get the milk more quickly and may show tiredness or frustration during feeding. The newborn or slow flow teats are normally more suitable for breast fed babies. The variable flow teat (3 months +) allows you to vary the flow rate to suit your baby's needs during the feed - faster at the beginning and slower towards the end.
Teats are numbered on the side to indicate flow rate. Each pack contains 2 Reusable or 2 Disposable teats. Packs are colour coded and have a diagram to help you find the correct type and flow rate of teat. |

IMPORTANT You must always use transparent teats on the AVENT Reusable and blue tinted teats on the AVENT Disposable, otherwise the bottles will leak. The transparent teat has a skirt at the base incorporating the anti-colic air valve. The blue teat has a flat base with no air valve, because the disposable bottle bag collapses as the baby feeds so there is no vacuum build up and no need for a valve.
