Teats

[Beth09]

Zach is using the tommee tippe fast flow teats but they seem to cave in when he is drinking so he obviously isnt getting as much out as he wants and therefore sucking to hard! Do they do a faster one or is there anything else i can try?

This is everyone's problem with TT teats We changed to Dr. Browns.

New teats always come with the valve stuck shut. Before you sterilise (or after if you forget like me ) squeeze it open, and it will then be fine.

Teat is an alternative word for the nipple of a mammary gland, in humans referred to as a breast, from which milk is discharged. Similarly, in cows, goats, etc., teats are the projections from the udder through which milk is discharged.

I am really confused about teat sizes. Can someone tell me which teat size I should be giving my 2 month year old? Also should it be slow, medium or fast flow?

According to the blurb, 2 months should be slow - but I know a lot of us find that too slow at that age, especially TT branded ones. I'd be inclined to try a medium or variflow. If you're using a thicker formula (easy digest or hungry baby), you might even need a fast flow.

We had this problem.. When you feel them bubbling turn the teat in his mouth and it should release it
