From the manufacturer

Which bottle teats are compatible with Closer to Nature bottles?

Closer to Nature baby bottles are ONLY compatible with Closer to Nature teats and cannot be used with Advanced Anti-Colic bottle teats.

Which flow rate do I need?

Every baby is different but as a guide we suggest slow flow for 0+months, medium flow for 3+ months and fast flow for 6+ months. As your baby grows and can feed more quickly, you can buy faster flowing replacement teats.

How do I know when to increase the bottle teat flow rate?

The following are all potential signs that you may need to increase the bottle teat flow rate: The bottle teat collapses during feeding; it takes longer than 20 minutes for baby to finish a bottle; baby tugs at the teat; baby falls asleep mid-bottle.

Where should the valve be when feeding my baby?

The valve will work wherever it’s positioned but the best place is at the top, near your baby’s nose.

How do I ensure the built-in anti-colic valve in the teat is venting properly?

When assembling your bottle, hold the teat up to the light to check the slit in the silicone isn’t sealed closed. If it has, pinch it gently with teat tongs to re-open. If the valve has sealed closed, your bottle won’t vent properly.
