HOW TO SELECT
HOW TO SELECT
For some infants, the General Use teat will be a simple selection to support optimal feeding.
However, if an infant requires support, like pacing and positioning to slow the feed, then selecting a Reduced Feed teat will give them more time to coordinate swallowing the liquid whilst safely managing their respiration.
Conversely, if an infant requires the addition of products to thicken their feed, you can select a teat with a larger orifice to enable thicker liquid to flow, selecting from the Thickened Feed options.
HOW TO SELECT
Preterm infants, in particular those weighing under 2.5 kg, are advised to start with an Extra Small Teat.
This Extra Small teat size is comfortable in a tiny mouth and offers the universal benefits of the Sepal contours.
If your assessment has identified no swallowing difficulties, then the General Use Extra Small teat Extra Slow Flow is your suggested starting point.
If however there are clinical issues to manage and monitor, there is the option of a reduced flow rate in our Ultra Slow Flow or two faster flow rate options at either Slow Flow or Medium Flow.
HOW TO SELECT
Full term infants are advised to start with a Small Teat unless they are exhibiting signs of a strong gag reflex. If this is the case, select an Extra Small Teat (the smaller size has less impact on this reflex) in the Slow Flow so that it caters to their hunger demands.
This small teat size is comfortable in a newborn’s mouth and offers the universal benefits of the Sepal contours. If your assessment has identified no swallowing difficulties, then the General Use Small Teat Slow Flow is your suggested starting point. If, however there are clinical issues to manage and monitor, there is the option of a reduced flow rate in our Extra Slow Flow or a faster flow rate option of Medium Flow.
HOW TO SELECT
As infants grow, we advise that they transition to a larger teat to ensure that the universal benefits of the Sepal contours are experienced. At 4-5 months they should be ready for the Medium Teat unless they are exhibiting signs of a strong gag reflex. If this is the case, select a Small Teat (the smaller size has less impact on this reflex) in the Medium Flow so that it caters to their hunger demands.
If your assessment has identified no swallowing difficulties, then the General Use Medium Teat Medium Flow is your suggested starting point. If, however there are clinical issues to manage and monitor, there is the option of a reduced flow rate in our Slow Flow or a faster flow rate option of Fast Flow.
HOW TO SELECT
As infants grow further, we advise they make the final transition to the Large Teat unless they are exhibiting signs of a strong gag reflex. If this is the case, select a Medium Teat (the smaller size has less impact on this reflex) in the Fast Flow so that it caters to their hunger demands.
This is our largest teat size and continues to offer the universal benefits of the Sepal contours. If your assessment has identified no swallowing difficulties, then the General Use Large Teat Fast Flow is your suggested starting point. If, however there are clinical issues to manage and monitor, there is the option of a reduced flow rate in our Medium Flow.
