Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Questions & Answers

I think you have the teat for the anti colic bottles

No, unfortunately if you don’t insert the ring the bottle would leek. However When you purchase a steriliser it’s come with a set of standard bottles that can be use later when they grow!

I've always held it above the milk as much as possible - however the teit always seems to get sucked into the bottle and it stops feeding... The valve doesn't seem to work well / at all from what I've seen.

Hello these ones don't have an air hole on the teat, its in the bottle neck instead. With the standard bottles though the hole needs too be facing up.

With mine it didn’t matter if the vent filled up (it will when there is a full bottle). As long as the vent is under baby’s nose.

We have the same problem with the teat caving in and it seems from other reviews on this page that it is a common problem. I phoned the tommee tippee helpline and they suggest I buy the medium flow teat even though my baby is only 2 months old, because he is sucking to hard!!!! I don't believe the valve on these bottles work properly. They instruct you to check the opening everytime you use it and even though I do that it is still not letting any air out. I am not willing to spend any more money on trying new teats to see if these bottles will actually work!

Hi, im not too sure sorry. It should fit.

Face it up towards the ceiling while feeding

I'm not understanding your question sorry

Some babies seem happy to use the tommie tippee bottles but many struggle with the large wobbly teats so I'd say skip that brand if choosing what to buy and purchase Pigeon bottles instead as they work well for almost all babies. If you're breastfeeding with occasional bottle use get a wide neck bottle with the super slow teat. If you're bottle feeding with no breastfeeding just start with the slowest flow test of which ever bottle brand you choose and as the baby gets older you change to faster teats.

Hi, you must be having them way to loose. You need to tighten it only a small amount just enough for it to not leak but also not to tight.

Hi Maddi98 no I have not had this happen before, my baby sucks pretty hard too :)

They definitely can do, used to happen to me and was frustrating. If you look on the inside of the teat there is the little valve thats designed to let air back into the bottle. This valve can get stuck closed, and causes the teat to collapse. They also recommend you have the valve up (near bubs nose) so milk isn't lying on it and can let air in. If bub is still collapsing them it might mean its almost time to go up an age. A way to stop it becoming a problem is to twist the bottle a bit while bub is drinking so the suctions not so great. I still find this less irritating then other brands anti-collick systems.

this happens to me heaps too. i find making sure the valve isn't stuck closed and that its facing upwards helps. Also leaning the bottle back a little cos sometimes i accidentally and holding it to firmly against his mouth.

We haven't had any leakage issues with the Tommee Tippee bottles. Other than the extra cleaning involved with the anti-colic valve we have found them to be sensational products.
