The health benefits of breastfeeding are difficult to overestimate. But if the circumstances are such that the young mother has no opportunity to breastfeed her baby? Some women go to work early, for someone breast milk is not enough for proper feeding. For a smooth transition from the mother’s breast to the bottle, the Avent nipple is suitable.
When feeding a baby with a baby formula from a bottle, problems such as regurgitation and colic often occur.
This happens due to the fact that during sucking the child swallows excess air. Avent Nipple has a unique anatomical shape that avoids these problems. This is also ensured thanks to the unique “skirt” around the nipples with anti-vacuum system and double ventilation valve. The mechanism of its action is based on the fact that the valve opens and closes rhythmically with the sucking movements of the baby, so that the air gradually enters the bottle as it is emptied. The nipple repeats the shape of the female breast as much as possible, so the baby experiences almost the same feelings with
artificial feeding as with sucking. This is especially true if a working woman does not want to stop feeding her baby breast milk. The transition from the chest to the bottle will be the least noticeable for the baby when using a bottle with such a pacifier.
Avent Bottle Nipples are made only from high quality hypoallergenic materials, the safety of which has been proven through numerous tests. Due to this, they have a sufficiently long service life, they are easy to care for.
Due to the presence of unique petals at the base of the nipple, its softness and flexibility increase, which prevents sticking during use.
Avent teat fits all bottles and containers for storing milk from this company. They are classified depending on the age of the baby, however, this division is rather arbitrary, because each child is unique, and he has his own sucking rhythm. If you notice that the baby is anxious during feeding and tries to suck quickly, then perhaps the Avent nipple with a faster flow will suit him.
From each other, the nipples differ in flow rate and type of slot. For newborn babies, the Avent nipple with one hole is suitable. In order to suck milk from a bottle with such a pacifier, the child will need to make as much effort as when breast-feeding. It was noted that children fed with the Avent nipple are calmer and less likely to suffer from colic.
Avent pacifier, 2 holes of which provide a faster flow of milk or milk mixture, is suitable for older kids. Medium and fast flow teats have 3 and 4 holes respectively and are suitable for babies up to six months. For babies older than 3 months, an Avent nipple with a variable flow is also suitable. Its feature is that you can independently adjust the speed of feeding. Dashes are applied to the base of the nipples, and by placing them opposite the baby’s nose, you can ensure a slow, medium or fast flow of milk.
