Tommee Tippee Anti-Colic Bottle Teats with thick flow are engineered to support the feeding needs of babies aged 6 months and above. The breast-like shape is crucial for babies who switch between breast and bottle, fostering a natural latch that helps prevent nipple confusion. The thick flow rate is particularly beneficial for older babies who drink more quickly or are consuming thicker formulas or purees, ensuring they get adequate nutrition efficiently.
The integrated anti-colic valve is a standout feature, actively working to vent air away from your baby's tummy during feeding. This can significantly reduce symptoms associated with colic, such as gas, burping, and discomfort, leading to calmer feeding times and more restful sleep for both baby and parent. Parents report a high acceptance rate, making these teats a reliable choice for consistent feeding routines. Regular monitoring of the flow rate is advised as your baby grows to ensure it continues to meet their needs.
