The ideal teat size depends on your baby’s age, feeding time, and amount. Babies of the same age may have different needs, so select the size that suits your baby’s development. If your baby takes a long time to finish a feed, experiences ventilation issues, or the teat collapses, consider moving up to the next size.
SofTouch™ Wide Neck teats come in a range of sizes, from SS to LLL, designed to match your baby’s developmental needs. To make your selection easier, we offer a guide that categorizes the different types of teats available.
Size | Age in Months | Type of Teat Hole | Feeding Time and Amount |
SS | Babies 0+ Months | Round Hole | About 10 min for 50ml |
S | 1 Month Old Baby Onwards | Round Hole | About 10 min for 100ml |
M | 3 Months Old Baby Onwards | Y Cross-Cut Hole | About 10 min for 150ml |
L | 6 Months Old Baby Onwards | Y Cross-Cut Hole | About 10 min for 200ml |

Keep in mind that babies may become attached to a specific teat, so it’s a good idea to rotate between two or more teats for about two months before replacing them.
