🍼 Description & Key Features

Natural latch‑on

The wide, breast-shaped silicone teat promotes a natural latch similar to breastfeeding, which makes combining breast and bottle feeding smoother and more intuitive.

Ultra‑soft, flexible texture

Crafted from ultra-soft silicone, the teat mimics the feel of the breast. Its spiral design plus comfort petals allows flexibility and prevents teat collapse as the baby feeds.

Medium flow for 3 months and older

Designed with three small holes in the teat, the flow rate is intended for infants 3 months and above, though actual suitability depends on your baby’s feeding pace.

Anti‑colic valve

An integrated twin-vent anti‑colic system helps channel air into the bottle—not the stomach—reducing gas, spit-up, and discomfort during feeding.

BPA‑free silicone

Made from high-quality, BPA‑free silicone, following EU safety standards, safe for regular baby feeding use.

👶 Is it Right for Your Baby?

Suitable for infants around 3 months and older, though actual comfort depends on feeding rhythm.
Provides the soft feel and shape helpful for babies transitioning between breast and bottle.
Works well if your baby tolerates the medium flow without dribbling or spillage.

⚠️ Notes & Parent Feedback

Some Reddit users report that even the medium flow from the Natural series can feel very slow:

“My son is 3 months now and… no matter what flow level we tried… was taking him FOREVER to get an ounce in.”
“It seems we have two different types of nipple… clear #2s… worked great… frosted size 3s were impossible for baby to suck anything out.”

Additionally, the way the valve aligns with the ring’s notch is critical:

“Make sure you are lining up the air vent… with the little notch on the white ring!! Once I started doing this… feeds got faster…”

This alignment can significantly impact flow and feeding effectiveness.

Parents often mention that babies who nevertheless struggle with this flow eventually move to size 4 despite age labels.

✅ Final Verdict

Best for combo-fed infants who are at least 3 months old and can handle a moderate but paced milk flow.
The teat’s soft shape and anti‑colic design support a gentle, natural feeding experience.
But if the baby shows frustration, spills, or slow intake—even after confirming proper vent alignment—consider whether Flow 4 (fast) or an alternative brand is needed sooner.

💡 Tips to Improve Use

Always align the small vent hole in the nipple with the notch in the screw ring when assembling.
If the feed is slow or baby tires out, consider sizing up earlier than labels suggest.
Observe whether there’s dribbling or fussing—if so, flow may be too fast.
