a collapsed teat is when the baby is sucking so hard on the teat the air is coming out of the bottle and none is getting in so the teat instead of being round collapses in on itself until you pull out the teat and let some air into the bottle (you will see the air bubbles rushing into the milk) and it becomes normal again if that makes sense

its best to avoid it happenning as it gives babies more wind but most newer bottles have valves on the teat to prevent this from happenning not that theyre perfect

hth as it wasnt a dumb question at all xx

I say collapsed teat when I mean something like this (but obviously without the finger pushing it!)

Also when the neck bit of the teat gets sucked in and it has to 'pop' itself back out again
