hello, i was wondering .... if the only difference between Avent Teets 1, 2, & 3 is the number of holes, would it be possible to safely (ie sterilised needle) put another hole in Teet 1 to make it a Teet 2 etc? Is that all that's required to make them faster or is there more?

hi M2I,

I just had a look at my avent teats and if you look closely you can actually see a hole IYKWIM, I think if you put a needle through the teat it would peirce it but not make a hole I would think that it would just stick back together when you baby drinks through it and not really do much. I found some cross cut teats at woolies that fit the avent which the baby is supposed to determine the flow they require, maybe you could try something like this?

thanks. just letting you know that i bought some more teets and we're trialling them now

Hello,

I have brought the variable flow teats for my DD's Avent bottles.... They flow at three different speeds depending on which way you have the teat.

I tried adding a hold to my DD's 2 hole teat & it ended up flowing too fast for her causing her to gag.
