This new teat ensures that babies do not have to change their natural feeding behaviour. Whether you breastfeed or use Calma - the milk only flows when the baby "works" for it. Why Calma? Our latest studies with researchers from the University of Western Australia show that creating a vacuum is essential to successfully breastfeed. Babies learn very early on that they have to produce a vacuum for the breastmilk to flow. Their natural way of sucking requires intensive work during breastfeeding! Standard teats accelerate an unnatural technique When you give your baby a bottle with pumped breastmilk and a standard teat, it learns a different technique as to when you breastfeed it. The pumped breastmilk flows automatically and does not stop when the baby wants to pause or breathe. So the baby chokes more easily and can develop difficulties in its regular breathing. Calma - the best teat for your baby For a mother looking for the optimal teat to feed her child breastmilk, Calma is the ideal solution. Calma was developed based on the results of our studies with the University of Western Australia. That's why Calma is the ideal teat for babies who are being breastfed with breastmilk, as it allows them to suck, swallow and breathe, as learned on the breast. Whether you breastfeed or use Calma, the baby has to create a vacuum for breastmilk to flow. As soon as the baby pauses, the flow is stopped, this is also the way with breastfeeding. With Calma - the ideal breastmilk teat - your baby is on the safe side Similar as with breastfeeding, your baby can • drink, pause and breathe in its natural rhythm, • create its individual vacuum through a combination of tongue and jaw movements, • retain its natural way of sucking, which allows an easy transition from breastfeeding to feeding breastmilk with Calma and back to the breast.

A bit too slow flow[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was recommended this product to hell mimic breastfeeding as we were trying to mix feed and bub was guzzling the formula too quickly, however it’s just that tad *too slow* a flow. It would take forever for bub to finish the bottle and he kept pulling off and getting frustrated while feeding - not sure if he was confused and expecting all bottles to be a faster flow like he has experienced previously. We only used a handful of times and eventually just went back to the standard slow flow teat which seemed to be fine. Maybe it would be better for babies under 6 weeks?

Life saver[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This teat is a life saver! My baby wasn’t able to latch in the beginning and she would only take bottle. We bought this out of recommendation from our lactation consultants and my daughter took it straight away.
I like that she has to work and actually suck for milk to come out instead of other teats where it pours right into her mouth.
This product mimicked breastfeeding and it really helped my breastfeeding journey continue.
The only downside is you have to replace the teat after awhile as the silicone does start to wear down. There are a few times where milk spilled through and we had to get a new one as replacement.

Not for us[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted this to work. We were mixed feeding and I really wanted to encourage breastfeeding as much as possible so the science behind really appealed. However, our bub didn't take it and ultimately we were able to successfully mix feed with regular teats without any confusion. Great to try if you buy a pack that includes this but perhaps to not buy standalone as it doesn't work for everyone.

Best test we have tried[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sooooo good to used for too ups/combifeeding when breastfeeding. It slows Bub right down to feed and reduces gas
in his tummy. He accepted it without issue from birth. Downside is the cleaning is slightly more complicated as the teat is 3 parts! It has little valves in it which means it is the same mechanism to drink from as the breast

Awful bottle[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given some of these by a friend of mine who finished bottle feeding and I tried it with my son, it was a dreadful experience. My son couldn’t get much milk, he was working so hard and getting barely any milk, he then gave up even though he was hungry. I never used it again and I do not recommend, worst bottle teat ever!

Not for everyone[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this product as we were wanting to make sure Bub didn’t get nipple confusion. This bottle worked twice for us but we ended up having to switch to the regular teats as it was way to hard for him to get milk from and he was not able to drink from this bottle. But it’s a great idea, just didn’t work for us.

Perfect for colicky baby![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this bottle for my colicky baby! Helped slow down the feed so she wouldn't be so spewy. Expensive but absolutely worth every cent. Readily available and teat fits all the different sized bottles im pretty sure! We use a range of different sized bottles. Easy to keep clean with the medela bottle brush

Not for us[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these for our baby when he was struggling to latch and I was pumping in the hope he’d start to figure it out. Unfortunately these just didn’t help at all. The constant attempts to help him latch just resulted in more and more failures. May work for some others but seemed to make our issues worse.
