Description
Hegen's teats are designed to encourage seamless transition from breast to bottle feeding, minimising nipple confusion for your baby.

The velvety soft, elliptical shaped teat closely mimics a mother's lactating breast while the off-centre teat design promotes upright feeding - similar to a position in which babies are nursed - to reduce the risk of milk back-flow and resulting mid-ear complications and colic.

The built-in anti-colic air vent reduces unwanted air intake and prevents bubbling of milk, saving precious nutrients from oxidation.

Additional teats of various sizes (all sold separately) allow mothers to simply swap to their choice of teats for baby’s perfect feed as time goes by. Simply assemble the teat into the collar and your Hegen bottle instantly becomes a feeding lid for baby.

*Hegen Teats are embossed with indicators to show the teat flow:
  • 0 for Extra Slow Flow (0 months) - Suitable from birth (even for premature or low birth weight babies) as it mimics the initial flow of transitional breast milk.
  • 1 for Slow Flow (1-3 months) - Suitable from the first month as it mimics the initial slow flow of breast milk.
  • 2 for Medium Flow (3-6 months) - Suitable from the third month as it gradually increases the milk flow rate as babies develop their ability to coordinate both the suckling and swallowing reflex.
  • 3 for Fast Flow (6 months and beyond) - Suitable from six months and beyond.
  • Y for Thick Feed (for thickened liquids) - Has a special Y cut which allows for an extra fast flow, suitable for semi-solids, thicker feed (e.g. milk with added cereal or rice powder).
*All Hegen teats only have one hole; flow rate of each teat is determined by the size of the hole
