The MAM Teat for Bottle - 0 Newborn Flow is designed for parents seeking a gentle and consistent feeding experience for their newborns and young infants. This pack of four teats offers an extra-slow flow, ideal for delicate feeders and helping to prevent overfeeding, though its specialized flow rate means it's not suitable for older babies requiring faster feeding. Made from a soft 'Silk' material, these teats provide comfort and mimic natural breastfeeding, ensuring a smooth transition or supplementary feeding.

The MAM Teat with 0 Newborn Flow is meticulously designed to support the earliest stages of infant feeding. In practice, this teat provides an extremely slow and controlled milk flow, which is crucial for newborns. This slow pace helps infants develop a coordinated suck-swallow-breathe pattern without being overwhelmed by milk, thus reducing the likelihood of gas, spit-up, and colic.
The unique 'Silk' material mimics the soft texture of a mother's skin, making it highly comforting and readily accepted by most babies. This is particularly beneficial for infants transitioning between breast and bottle, or for those exclusively bottle-fed who might be sensitive to different textures. Parents will notice their baby can latch more easily and feed at a calm, unhurried pace, which is vital for building a positive feeding experience.
For instance, if your baby is prone to reflux or takes a long time to finish a feed due to a delicate suck, this 0 Newborn Flow teat can significantly improve their comfort and feeding efficiency. The controlled flow also means less effort for the baby to manage the milk, promoting a more relaxed feeding session. This product excels in creating a gentle feeding environment, fostering a sense of security and well-being for the infant.
Before First Use: Disassemble all components. Sterilize all teats by placing them in boiling water for 5 minutes. This ensures hygiene. Allow them to cool before use.
Assembly: Carefully push the teat up through the top of the MAM bottle ring until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the teat is fully seated and aligned.
Attachment: Screw the assembled bottle ring firmly onto a clean MAM baby bottle. Do not overtighten, but ensure there are no gaps.
These MAM 0 Newborn Flow teats are specifically designed to fit all standard MAM baby bottles (e.g., Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles, Easy Active Baby Bottles).
They are generally not compatible with non-MAM brand bottles due to differing neck designs and locking mechanisms.
Cleaning After Each Use: Disassemble the teat from the bottle ring. Wash thoroughly with warm soapy water using a soft brush. Rinse all parts thoroughly under running water.
Sterilization: Regularly sterilize teats. Methods include:
Boiling: Place in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Steam Sterilizer: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific steam sterilizer.
Cold Water Sterilization: Use sterilization tablets according to product instructions.
Inspection: Before each use, inspect the teat carefully for any signs of wear, tears, stickiness, or discoloration. Pull the teat in all directions to check for weaknesses.
Replacement: Replace teats every 1-2 months for hygiene and safety, or immediately if any damage or signs of wear are visible. Do not use damaged teats.
Storage: Store clean, dry teats in a hygienic, covered container. Keep away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Do Not Enlarge: Never attempt to enlarge the feeding hole, as this can pose a choking hazard.
