What's included:
TWO Hegen Nipple Extra Slow Flow
Hegen’s Extra Slow Flow teat is suitable from birth (even for premature or low birth weight babies) as it mimics the initial flow of transitional breast milk.
Hegen's teats are designed to encourage smooth transition from breast to bottle feeding, minimizing nipple confusion.
Our velvety soft, egg shaped teat closely mimics a mother's lactating breast while the off-centre teat design promotes upright feeding - similar to a position in which babies are nursed - to reduce the risk of milk back-flow, ear complications and colic.
Built-in anti-colic air vent reduces unwanted air intake and prevents bubbling of milk, saving precious nutrients from loss.

2. Prevents Colic
Air venting bypasses the milk to prevent aeration, minimizing the oxidation of previous nutrients. This reduces excessive air intake, safeguarding your baby from tummy upsets.
Asymmetrical nipple for upright feeding
Hegen's super soft nipples are asymmetrical and off-center to allow for a natural upright feeding position at a 20 degrees tilt, similar to nursing from the breast. This minimizes the tilt that conventional baby bottles require, reducing the risk of milk back-flow which may cause mid-ear complications.
Know when to upsize your nipple
An indication of progress to the next nipple flow can be observed through a baby's body language and feeding behavior (examples can be found below).
Do consult a healthcare professional if you require more assistance in identifying the right nipple flow for your child.
Watch for little signs
Your little one usually provide hints on whether the current nipple size is right for them. Here is a small list of signs we've seen to help determine whether it's time to upsize or downsize!
