What are flow rates?

We offer teats with a range of flow rates to suit babies from newborns to six months and beyond. Whether your little one takes their feed slowly or gulps it down quickly, there’s a nipple that’s right for them. All our nipples are made from soft silicone that flexes and stretches like mom so your baby can feed comfortably at their own pace.

Remember that every baby is different and develops at their own rate, so the age indications on our nipples are just a guide. Your baby may be ready to move on sooner or later.
