Nos bottle nipple size

The nos bottle nipple size should be chosen based on your baby’s age, feeding speed, and the bottle system you use. For example, Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature offers medium flow teats for younger infants (3 months+) and fast flow teats for older babies (6 months+), both made from silicone. If you’re using different brands, look for similar flow-rate options labeled for the correct age range and ensure the teat material is silicone or BPA-free.

Fast flow teats deliver milk more quickly than medium flow teats and are better for babies who feed vigorously or require thicker feeds. In our range you’ll find Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature fast flow teats suitable for 6m+ and the corresponding medium flow options for 3m+. Silicone teats maintain their shape and provide durable, age-appropriate feeding experiences.

A beginner should start with a slower or medium-flow nos bottle nipple size to prevent gulping or choking. An experienced caregiver can move up to fast-flow teats when the baby shows readiness, using brands like Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature or similar options designed for 6m+ and beyond. Always observe your baby’s cues and adjust gradually.

Keep nipples clean and safe by sterilizing before first use and after regular feeding. Check compatibility with your bottle, as some brands fit standard fittings while others require specific teats; silicone teats and BPA-free options are common across Tommee Tippee, Boots, and generic bottles. Inspect for tears and replace worn nipples promptly to maintain proper flow and safety.

Look for signs such as prolonged feeding times, nipple collapse, gulping, or increased air intake that indicate the current nipple size isn’t meeting needs. If the baby shows readiness, consider moving to a higher flow rate appropriate for their age, for example from medium to fast flow teats used with brands like Tommee Tippee, while ensuring compatibility with your bottle.

Yes—wash teats with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry. When mounting, ensure the teat is firmly attached and oriented correctly on the bottle to prevent leaks; silicone teats are flexible and fit most compatible bottles, including popular brands and generic options. Regularly inspect for wear and replace anytime the teat shows damage or excessive softness.
