The MAM Medium Flow Teat is designed to provide a reliable and comfortable feeding experience for babies who have outgrown slow flow teats but are not yet ready for a fast flow. This flow rate is typically recommended for babies around 2-4 months of age, but always observe your baby's feeding cues.
When using this teat, milk should flow steadily but not too quickly, allowing your baby to feed without gulping or excessive effort. A good indicator that the medium flow is appropriate is if your baby finishes a feed comfortably within 10-20 minutes, without showing signs of frustration from slow flow or choking/spluttering from fast flow.
Real-world Application:
Imagine your baby is around 3 months old, showing signs of impatience with their slow-flow teats, maybe pulling away from the bottle or taking a long time to finish a feed. Switching to the MAM Medium Flow teat can provide the right amount of liquid, reducing feeding times and making the experience more satisfying for your baby. This helps prevent air intake due to excessive sucking on a slow-flow teat, which can contribute to gas. For parents, the 4-pack convenience means fewer frantic washes and more time spent with your little one.
Preparation: Before first use and after each subsequent use, disassemble all parts. Wash the teats thoroughly in warm soapy water.
Sterilization: Sterilize the teats using a suitable method:
Boiling: Place teats in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Steam Sterilizer: Follow the sterilizer manufacturer's instructions.
Cold Water Sterilization: Use a sterilizing solution according to its directions.
Assembly: Ensure the teat is completely dry. Carefully pull the teat through the screw ring of your MAM baby bottle until it sits securely.
Compatibility: These teats are specifically designed for use with all MAM baby bottles. They are not guaranteed to fit or perform correctly with other bottle brands.
Inspect Regularly: Before each use, inspect the teat for any signs of wear, tear, stickiness, or damage. Replace immediately if any damage is found.
Cleaning: Clean immediately after each use to prevent milk residue buildup. Use a soft bottle brush specifically designed for teats.
Storage: Store cleaned and dried teats in a clean, dry, and covered container, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Replacement: For hygiene and safety, it is recommended to replace teats every 1-2 months, or sooner if showing signs of wear.
Safety: Never use a teat as a soother. Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids can cause tooth decay. Always check food temperature before feeding.
