Which teat flow rate to choose?
Different teat flow rates
The Élhée feeding bottle teat is available in 4 flow rates to offer your baby a customized feeding experience.
Extra-Slow Flow (XS) Perfect for newborns or premature babies, this extremely gentle flow is ideal for toddlers learning to suckle. It mimics the natural flow of the breast with even greater delicacy, allowing the baby to take his time and regulate his rhythm without the risk of being overwhelmed by milk.
Slow Flow (S)Ideal for newborns or breast-fed babies, the slow flow provides a moderate flow that mimics the natural flow of the breast. It promotes gentle, controlled sucking, perfect for the first feeds, helping to prevent the risk of choking and promote good coordination between sucking, swallowing and breathing. Avoids the risk of breast-nipple confusion.
Medium Flow (M) This flow rate is ideal for older babies who are beginning to master their sucking better. It ensures a faster flow, while remaining sufficiently controlled to guarantee feeding comfort. This flow rate is recommended when the baby's appetite is growing, but still requires a fluid feed.
Rapid Flow (L) Designed for growing babies who consume thicker liquids such as thickened milk or cereals, this fast flow offers efficient feeding for more demanding babies.
