A few common questions that we get asked about bottles and
teats.
Can you use the
Avent teats with the
Medela bottles? no, the avent teats have wide necks and
will not fit the medela bottles.
Are there other teats you can use with the Medela bottles
other than the Chu
Chu ones?
The medela bottles are narrow neck, and they will fit any brand of
narrow neck teat, it doesn't just have to be the Chu Chu teat. (The
Chu Chu ones are just the ones that we like best and recommend).
You can buy narrow neck teats at the supermarket, there are lots of
brands and budget ones too that all come in Narrow Neck as the
default size. Medela NZ don't import any teats.
The only teats that we know of that won't fit the medela bottles
are the Avent and Closer to Nature.
How many teats do you need?
We always recommend that you get the same number of teats as the
number of bottles. But basically you only need one bottle and one
teat, you'll just have to wash and sterilize it every time you need
to use it. That's why people get a few spares.
