Hegen’s Medium Flow Nipple is suitable from the third month as it gradually increases the milk flow rate as babies develop their ability to coordinate both the suckling and swallowing reflex.
Hegen's Nipples are designed to encourage seamless transition from breast to bottle feeding, minimising nipple confusion for your baby.
Our velvety soft, elliptical shaped nipple closely mimics a mother's lactating breast while the off-centre nipple design promotes upright feeding - similar to a position in which babies are nursed - to reduce the risk of milk back-flow and resulting mid-ear complications and colic.
The built-in anti-colic air vent reduces unwanted air intake and prevents bubbling of milk, saving precious nutrients from oxidation.
Additional nipples of various sizes (all sold separately) allow mothers to simply swap to their choice of nipples for baby’s perfect feed as time goes by. Simply assemble the nipple into the collar and your Hegen bottle instantly becomes a feeding lid for baby.
*Hegen Nipples are embossed with indicators to show the nipple flow:
- 0 for Extra Slow Flow (0 months)
- 1 for Slow Flow (1-3 months)
- 2 for Medium Flow (3-6 months)
- 3 for Fast Flow (6 months and beyond)
- Y for Thick Feed (for thickened liquids)
*All Hegen Nipples only have one hole; flow rate of each nipple is determined by the size of the hole
