By using the Difrax 1-2-3 Variflow Teat Wide in combination with the 1-2-3 Variflow Ring Wide, you can dose the amount of nutrition and therewith determine the drinking speed of your baby while feeding. The outflow velocity can be adapted to the suction strength of your baby even while you are bottle feeding. These bottle teats (2-pack) are available for the S-baby bottle Wide 200 ml and 310 ml.
What does our variflow teat do? The Difrax 1-2-3 Variflow Teat will get your baby accustomed to drinking from a bottle in no time. The teat can be compared to a mother’s breast; it is nipple-shaped, feels silky soft and is made of safe, BpA-free silicone material. Designed to simulate and stimulate baby’s latching instinct during breast and bottle feeding, therefore a perfect choice for mixed feeding. For milk and porridge from the age of 0 months. The dashes on the side of the 1-2-3 Variflow teats indicate the flow rate. Position the dash for the desired flow level under baby’s nose. | = horizontal dash: small opening allowing least amount of milk through || = oblique: medium opening, medium flow and quantity of milk ||| = vertical dash, large opening, largest quantity of milk at high flow rate Use the special 1-2-3 Varifow Ring Wide to position the teat correctly.
The right choice for a Difrax bottle teat depends on your child’s preference. Difrax has three types of bottle teats:
- Soft-coated bottle teats for the Natural baby bottle. These small, nipple-shaped bottle teats are most similar to the mother’s breast and therefore have the best acceptance rate among babies. The soft coating provides extra grip, which allows your child to easily hold the teat in its mouth. The Natural bottle teats fit Natural S-bottles.
- Dental bottle teats for the Natural baby bottle. The Dental bottle teat is suitable for children with reflux, children who choke quickly, children who drink too fast or premature babies. The Dental bottle teat has a flat side that evenly spreads the milk in the mouth. This prevents choking and makes sure that your child swallows the right amount of milk. The Dental bottle teats fit Natural S-bottles.
- Soft-coated bottle teats for the Wide baby bottle. These Wide bottle teats are most suitable for children who like to open their mouth a bit wider, also known as a preference for wide latching. The soft coating provides extra grip, which allows your child to easily hold the teat in its mouth. The Wide bottle teat fits the Difrax Anti-Colic Wide S-bottles (200 ml and 310 ml).
If you don’t know your baby’s preference yet, it’s best to start with the Natural bottle teat. This type is generally best accepted.
Difrax bottle teats come in different sizes. The size is related to the size of the opening of the teat. The correct size depends on your baby’s suction power and the type of food you use. Thicker food and greater suction power require a larger teat size. Your baby should be able to finish a bottle of food in about 15-20 minutes. If this is the case, you’re probably using the correct size.
