What's included: Hegen Medium Flow teat comes in a pack of two, allowing parents to have a spare teat on hand or use it for twins.
The Hegen medium flow teat offers several benefits for both parents and babies. Here are some advantages of using the Hegen medium flow teat:
-
Gradual transition: The medium flow teat is designed as a transitional option between the slow flow teat and faster flow rates. It allows babies who have outgrown the slow flow teat to adapt to a slightly faster milk flow, preparing them for the next stage of feeding.
-
Efficient feeding: The medium flow teat provides a controlled yet slightly faster flow rate compared to the slow flow teat. This can be beneficial for babies who have become more efficient at feeding and need a slightly higher flow to keep up with their growing appetite.
-
Reduced frustration: As babies grow, they may become more impatient during feeding if the milk flow is too slow. The medium flow teat helps to address this issue by providing a flow rate that matches their developmental needs, reducing frustration during feeding sessions.
-
Suitable for thicker fluids: As babies begin to incorporate solid foods or thicker liquids into their diet, the medium flow teat can handle these changes better than the slow flow teat. It allows for a smoother flow of thicker fluids without clogging or causing excessive effort for the baby.
-
Versatile use: The Hegen system's modular design allows parents to interchange teat flow rates as needed. The medium flow teat can be used in combination with other Hegen components, such as the breast milk storage containers or feeding bottles, providing convenience and flexibility in feeding routines.
It's important to note that the specific benefits may vary depending on the baby's individual needs and feeding preferences. It's recommended to observe your baby's feeding behavior and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions about selecting the appropriate teat flow rate.
