Avent Nipple Sizes report
When mothers and newborn babies are in close skin contact, people will find that sucking and body attachment for babies are very natural. Among them, sucking seems to be the instinct that a baby has been born with. Such early experience has very important relevance to personality development.
The pacifier can meet the baby's nipple sucking needs and prevent the baby from constantly sucking breast milk and the bottle after eating, which will cause digestive problems and the mother's burden. At the same time, it also reduces the possibility of the baby biting something, eating hands, and getting too much contact with bacteria.
Philips Avent nipple could be one of the most famous and reliable options for all new parents. As a world-renowned brand, Avent has a good reputation and quality assurance. 98% of its products are produced in the UK. From R&D to testing, we cooperate with top European colleges or scientific research institutions and hospitals in every link to consider every detail for mothers and babies and offer the best for consumers. If you need to get an Avent nipple that matches your baby's stage of development, read the following article that can help you find out which Philips Avent nipple sizes you should be using for your baby.
Avent Nipple Size Guide
Most new parents were naïve about the world of bottle nipples, and they may think all the nipples come in the same sizes. Philips Avent nipples came in different flow sizes, and you could visit its website or other stores to pick the right one. When you choose the right size, not only will your baby be happier and well-fed, but it will make weaning your baby off of breastmilk and onto bottles much easier. Nipple size does matter. Feeding your baby with the wrong Philips Avent nipple sizes can lead to an upset baby, an over-fed baby, or even increase the milk flow too much that it spills out your baby's mouth.
Size of the nipple
The baby bottle size determines the quantity of milk, and the nipple is about how quickly the milk comes out or milk flows. If you're using the Advent Natural baby bottle, the difference is the shape of the nipple. It is designed with the shape of a breast. Your baby will have to suckle like they do at the breast. It helps your little one to combine both breast and bottle feeding.
Flow of the nipple
Just like the size of the baby bottle, the flow of the nipple increases with your baby's age. Advent has labeled our nipples with an age guidance indication, but keep in mind that every baby develops at its rate. The flow rates can be identified by the number on the base of the Advent nipple.
Avent Nipple Size Chart
These are the six Avent nipple sizes we recommend by each age group:
| Avent Nipple Size | Baby Age | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| First Flow Nipple | 0-1 Month | Preemies & Newborns |
| Newborn Nipple | 0-3 Months | Newborns (0-1M) & Breastfed Babies (0-3M) |
| Slow Flow Nipple | 1-3 Months | Newborns (1-3M) & Breastfed Babies (3M+) |
| Medium Flow Nipple | 3-6 Months | Babies (3M+) |
| Variable Flow Nipple | 3+ Months | Different Flow Rates with the Same Nipple |
| Fast Flow Nipple | 6+ Months | Babies (6M+) |
Avent nipple sizes are pretty similar in how they are built, but each offers something unique in the form of a difference in liquid flow between their holes. While there are recommended age groups for every nipple, not all babies are picky. We recommend that you purchase several sizes to choose your baby's favorite, and it would be best to change the nipples on the bottles every three months.
