What Age Range Is the Hegen Medium Flow Teat (Pack of 2) Suitable For?

Key Features of the Hegen Medium Flow Teat (Pack of 2)
The Hegen teat is designed to enhance the feeding experience and promote parent-child bonding, the velvety super-soft elliptical shaped silicone mimics the lactating breast of mothers for an easy latch-on. The asymmetrical design allows for a natural upright feeding position, and a built-in anti-colic air vent reduces oxidisation and excessive air intake. Hegen products are all designed to work with one another, ensuring hassle-free updates as your child grows and their needs change.
How Do I Assemble the Medium Flow Teat and Collar?
To assemble the teat and collar simply palace the collar over the teat, with the air vent facing you on the teat and the Hegen logo facing you on the collar. Then pull the teat upwards through the collar for a snug fit. Hegen collars are available separately:
Are Other Teats Available?
As well as the medium flow teat, teats with thicker or thinner feeds are available for younger or older children. These will fit onto the same base bottle, and are listed here:
How Does the Teat Prevent Milk Aeration and Colic?
Upset tummies and endless crying are often the result of excess air-intake while feeding. Luckily the Hegen teat features an inbuilt vent which serves to reduce excess air-intake, thereby preventing the oxidisation of precious nutrients and providing you with some much needed peace and quiet!
Ideal for Twins
This pack of 2 feeding teats allows you to feed both of your twins at the same time! Ensure that both of your babies aren't left without, and prevents you having to wash your teat before feeding your other twin.
Unique Teat Design
It can be confusing for babies to make the transition from breast-feeding to bottle feeding, which is why the elliptical-shaped teat mimics a natural breast. Not only is this less bemusing to a hungry new-born, but the soft silicone is gentle on developing teeth and gums. The off-centre design of the teat allows your baby to feed from a more upright position, which reduces the risk of milk back-flow that can lead to mid-ear complications.
How Do I Clean the Teat?
The teat is safe for washing on the top rack of the dishwasher, or with boiling water or steriliser. In addition, the teat is totally free from potential toxins such as BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalates.
Who Are Hegen?
Hegen views breastfeeding as one of a mother's ultimate gifts to her child, but recognises that the modern woman may struggle to maintain it alongside their busy lives. Their range of bottles and pumps are designed to enrich and prolong the breastfeeding experience, ensuring your little one keeps getting breast milk as long as they need.
