Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature, Thick Flow Teats, 2 Pieces 6+m

• Designed in conjunction with breastfeeding experts, the revolutionary new Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Easi-vent teat mimics the natural flex, movement and softness of a mum's breast, to make switching between breast and bottle easier than ever before.

• The unique shape of the Closer to Nature Easi-vent teat encourages your baby's natural feeding action so that switching between breast and bottle becomes second nature.

• With its unique Easi-vent anti-colic valve (which you can actually see working) the Closer to Nature Easi-vent teat is at the heart of an entire breastfeeding support system which also includes a breast pump, sterilisers and accessories specially created to help you combine breast and bottle feeding.

Teat collapse resolution

• There are two reasons a teat may collapse. One is an indication that your baby is ready for a faster flowing teat and may be sucking so hard that the teats can not release the air fast enough and collapses. The other is that the Closer to Nature Easivent teats are made from very soft silicone, therefore over time the silicone can remould when not in use, for example when on the shelf in store.

• You will have noticed a small tent-like vent on the inside of the teat – this should have a small slit along which allows the airflow through the bottle, and if this remoulds it will cause the teat to collapse during a feed. Please see the diagram below that may help, which is also highlighted on the front of the instructions.

• All you need to do to rectify this problem is to rub the valve between your finger and thumb until the slit re-opens. You will only need to do this once and the teat should then function as normal.

Go with the flow

• We offer different flow rates to keep up with your growing baby. Every baby is different but as a guide we suggest slow flow for 0+months, medium flow for 3+ months and fast flow for 6+ months. Closer to Nature nipples are only compatible with Closer to Nature bottles.

Moving on

• If it takes longer than 20 minutes to finish a bottle, baby tugs at the nipple or baby falls asleep mid-bottle, these are potential signs you may need to increase the nipple flow rate.

Change me

• Our nipples are silky soft. Change them if they get damaged or bitten by tiny teeth.

Squeeze me

• Give me a squeeze to ensure my super sensitive anti-colic valve is open after storing and cleaning.

Go with the flow

• We offer different flow rates to keep up with your growing baby.

Slow Flow

• We suggest slow flow teats for newborns and for those babies below 3 months. This is just a guide as every baby is different.

Medium Flow

• Our medium flow teat is suggested for babies 3 months plus but remember every baby is different so you may need to change teats earlier than this guide.

Fast Flow

• Our fastest flow rate is our fast flow teat. This is suggested for babies 6 months plus.
