Nipple Care What are the problems of a big hole in the teat If the hole is too big, the milk
will spurt out rapidly. This will result in the baby taking in too much
milk and choking. Boiling the teat may reduce the size of the opening but
if it does not you will have to discard the teat.
What are the problems of a small hole in the teat If the hole is too small, the milk
will not come out easily and it will take a long time for the droplet to
form at the hole in the teat. In this case, the baby will swallow air in
her effort to suck the milk which can cause colic and vomiting after feeds.
A small hole in the teat can be enlarged using a red-hot needle.
How do I ensure that the hole in the teat is of the correct size The hole is the right size, if the
milk falls steadily drop by drop when you turn the bottle upside down.
Turn the bottle upside down to check that the hole in the teat is the correct
size.
