Our Natural Start and Advanced Anti-Colic nipples are expertly engineered, and it’s important to use the right teat for your bottles.

These nipples are specially designed to work with the vented wand in the bottle system to reduce colic symptoms.

Know your flow.
_

Our nipples come in different flow rates to keep up with your growing baby (and their growing appetite).

Each one is marked with its flow rate.

  • 0 = Extra Slow: For use from birth.
  • X = Vari: For use from birth. The X cut in the tip means they can control the flow and can feed at a pace that’s most comfortable for them.
  • 1 = Slow: For newborns and babies below three months. 
  • 2 = Medium: For babies aged three months and up. 
  • 3 = Fast: For babies aged six months and up. 
  • Y = Thick: For use with thicker feeds from six months, the Y-cut lets thickened milk flow easily.

Time for a change?
_

You may need a slower flow rate if your baby...

  • gulps, coughs, or gags when feeding
  • has excess milk dripping out of their mouth
  • or refuses to feed 

And a faster flow rate may help if they...

  • take longer than 20 minutes to finish a feed
  • tug at the nipple
  • fall asleep while feeding

Switch it up.

Nipples need to be changed regularly.

We recommend replacing your bottle nipples every two months or at the first sign of any damage or weakness.
