This guide helps parents understand and effectively use the MAM Teat for Bottle with its unique Cross Cut design. Engineered to provide a controlled flow that adapts to your baby's feeding needs, this 4-pack ensures you have readily available spares. While specifically designed for use with MAM baby bottles, its adaptive flow aims to support a comfortable and natural feeding experience.
Cross Cut Design: This innovative design allows the milk flow to adapt to your baby's individual sucking strength and pace, promoting a more natural and controlled feeding experience.
Adaptive Controlled Flow: Unlike fixed-flow teats, the cross-cut design means the flow rate adjusts based on how strongly your baby sucks, reducing gulping and supporting self-paced feeding.
Convenient 4-Pack: Each package contains four teats, providing excellent value and ensuring you always have clean, sterilized spares on hand.
MAM Bottle Compatibility: Specifically engineered for a secure and leak-free fit with all MAM baby bottles, ensuring optimal performance.
Durable and Safe: Designed for repeated use and sterilization, offering reliability for your baby's feeding routine.
Adaptive Flow: Promotes a natural feeding rhythm by adjusting to your baby's sucking strength.
Reduces Gulping: The controlled flow can help minimize excessive air intake, potentially reducing colic symptoms.
Convenient Multi-Pack: Ensures you always have spare teats available, simplifying your routine.
Reliable Fit: Guaranteed compatibility and secure attachment with MAM baby bottles.
Supports Self-Paced Feeding: Empowers your baby to control the feeding speed, which can aid in digestion.
MAM Bottle Exclusive: Only compatible with MAM brand baby bottles, limiting use with other brands.
No Fixed Flow Rate Indication: Some parents may prefer a clearly defined flow rate (e.g., slow, medium, fast) rather than an adaptive one.
Material Information: The product attributes indicate 'Silk' as the material, which is unusual for baby bottle teats. > Info needed: Clarification on the specific material properties and benefits for this application.

The MAM Teat with Cross Cut design is ideal for babies who benefit from a feeding experience that mimics natural breastfeeding or for those who need more control over their milk intake. The Cross Cut opening responds to your baby's sucking, meaning stronger sucks yield more milk, while gentler sucks result in less. This adaptive flow helps prevent your baby from being overwhelmed by a fast flow or frustrated by a slow one. It's particularly beneficial for babies transitioning from breast to bottle, or for those prone to gulping or discomfort from traditional fixed-flow teats. Using these teats can promote a calmer feeding session and aid in the baby's digestion by allowing them to dictate their own pace. Ensure the teat is securely fitted into the MAM bottle ring before use, and always check the teat for any signs of wear or damage before each feeding.
Preparation: Before first use and after each subsequent use, disassemble all parts of the bottle and teat. Wash thoroughly.
Assembly: Place the Cross Cut Teat into the screw ring of your MAM bottle. Ensure the teat is pulled through completely and securely, with the wider base of the teat sitting flush against the ring.
Attachment: Screw the assembled teat and ring firmly onto your MAM baby bottle. Make sure it's tight enough to prevent leaks but not overtightened.
Inspection: Always check the teat before feeding by pulling on the nipple part to ensure there are no tears or damage. Discard immediately if any signs of wear are visible.
MAM Bottles Only: These teats are exclusively designed to be compatible with all MAM brand baby bottles. They will not fit other bottle brands securely or function correctly.
Cleaning: Wash teats immediately after each use with warm soapy water. Use a soft bottle brush or sponge to clean inside thoroughly. Rinse well.
Sterilization: Teats must be sterilized before each use, especially for newborns and young infants. Common sterilization methods include:
Boiling: Place teats in boiling water for 5 minutes. Ensure they do not touch the sides of the pot to prevent damage.
Steam Sterilizer: Use a dedicated electric or microwave steam sterilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Cold Water Sterilizing Solution: Follow the instructions provided with your sterilizing tablets/liquid.
Storage: Store clean, dry teats in a hygienic, covered container. Keep away from direct sunlight or heat.
Replacement: Teats should be replaced every 1-2 months for hygiene and safety, or sooner if showing any signs of wear, stickiness, discoloration, or damage.
