Franny from Breastmates shares some insight into her love of the
Chu Chu Teats.
~~~~
With my second son, I've had a lot of difficulty getting him to
drink from a bottle. He just prefers breastfeeding cuddles too
much! We have tried so many different bottles with him, but most
times he was getting stressed out. Stressed baby to the max =
stressed mummy!!
I use to stock a range of bottles and teats and nipples on my
website, because customers have different preferences. So I was
getting them all out to try them. Avent, Medela, Tommee Tippee,
Pur, WeeGo, Green to Grow, Adiri. Yes they are all great products,
but we had different success of feeding our baby with them.
I find a lot of those teats, when you tip the bottle up to feed
baby the milk just pours out. This filled my son's mouth with milk
(which he didn't want to drink) so I thought he was going to
choke.
I have refound my love for the "Mothers Partner Chu Chu
Teats". I used these with my first son (and hadn't seen them in
the shops since). My first son had 2 of these teats which we used
all the time, and they got worn out. But they were good
because we didn't need to change the flowrate on them, the teats
were suitable for birth to weaning.
With baby number two, I went on a mission to find the supplier for
the Chu Chu teats, so I got some for myself. Yes I love them the
best. They work!!
Chu Chu teats are the only teats that work the exact same way as a
nipple. The milk only flows out when the baby sucks and latches
like on a breast. So it doesnt flood baby's mouth with milk.
These teats are ideal for baby's that are refusing the bottle, and
rejecting the bottle.
These teats are available at our online
maternity store. We also have lots of resources for
breastfeeding and bottle feeding
problems.
I've done a little recording demo to show you how the Chu Chu
teats work.
[And we have discontinued selling the teats that didn't work so
well for us, such as the Adiri]
** The Chu Chu teats fit any standard bottle, with
narrow neck. Such as the Medela bottles. Teat diameter is 3.8
cm. They do not fit the Avent brand
or Closer To Nature which have wide necks
