Medela Calma Teat - (includes teat, cap, and cover)
Medela's Calma teat is able to offer a solution which allows
your baby to switch from breast to bottle and back again.
Calma was developed based on the results of studies with the
University of Western Australia. That's why Calma is the unique
teat for babies who are being breastfed with breastmilk, as it
allows them to suck, swallow and breathe, as learned on the breast
- for a flowrate that suits them.
Whether you breastfeed or use Calma, the baby has to create a
vacuum for breastmilk to flow. As soon as the baby pauses, the flow
is stopped, this is also the way with breastfeeding.
Your baby has a unique sucking pattern, with pauses to swallow
and breathe. By using Calma, your baby is able to feed and pause
naturally according to his personal rhythm. This helps to slow down
the feed and results in a calm and relaxed baby during and after
the feed.
Similar as with breastfeeding, your baby can
- drink, pause and breathe in their natural rhythm,
- create their individual vacuum through a combination of tongue
and jaw movements,
- retain their natural way of sucking, which supports an easy
transition from breastfeeding to feeding breastmilk with Calma and
back to the breast.
- PLUS the teat doesn't drip!
One size teat is suitable for your entire duration of feeding.
The flow, shape and length of Calma are designed to suit your
baby's needs as your baby grows. Calma will always meet your baby's
needs during the lactation period.
Make sure you view the assembly instructions. Very easy to
do - but different from normal teats
