Zero Zero Silicone Teats - Adaptable

Most bottle teats are round and symmetrical, which can feel unfamiliar to breastfed babies and contribute to bottle rejection. The Zero Zero teat uses an asymmetrical design with an ultra-soft silicone texture that mimics the consistency of the mother's nipple, offering an aesthetic resemblance to the skin and minimising breast-bottle confusion. Its longer, curved-base design allows for better positioning of the mouth, tongue, and jaw, promoting sucking mechanics similar to those used at the breast. The flat, angled shape of the teat also promotes correct positioning of the baby's neck, helping to avoid reflux and ear infections

The small 180ml bottle comes with the Adaptable Flow teat (A) suitable from 0 months, and the large 270ml bottle comes with the Medium Flow teat (M) suitable from 3 months. The Dense Flow teat (L) for 6 months and up is available to purchase separately. The Adaptable Flow is the most popular choice for breastfed babies — it lets more or less liquid through depending on how hard your baby sucks, just like the mother's nipple, so your baby naturally controls their own intake without needing a teat change as they grow stronger. Signs it's time to move to a faster flow include frustration during feeds, falling asleep at the bottle before finishing, or taking an unusually long time to complete a feed

No. The Zero Zero teat is only compatible with the Zero Zero bottle. Suavinex only guarantees the perfect functioning of their bottles when used with their own teats, as only their teats adapt 100% to their bottles. This is because the Zero Zero teat is designed to work specifically with the internal collapsing silicone bag inside the Zero Zero bottle — which is what gives the system its anti-colic performance. Using a Zero Zero teat on a different bottle body, or a third-party teat on a Zero Zero bottle, won't deliver the same anti-colic or anti-nipple-confusion results

Suavinex recommends replacing teats every 20–25 days. This may feel frequent compared to other brands, but silicone teats gradually weaken with repeated sterilisation and use — and a compromised teat can collapse during feeding, alter flow rate, or harbour bacteria in micro-tears that are invisible to the eye. A practical approach is to buy replacement teats in pairs and rotate between two sets, replacing both when you notice any stickiness, discolouration, thinning, or change in the teat's feel or shape

Remove the teat from the screw ring before washing and rinse with cold water immediately after each feed to prevent dried milk from building up. Wash teats by hand with warm soapy water — do not put teats in the dishwasher and do not use any disinfectants containing alcohol, as these degrade silicone over time. To sterilise, fully submerge in boiling water for 5 minutes or use a steriliser. If teats won't be used immediately after sterilising, store them in a clean, dry container with a lid once fully dry. Avoid storing in damp places or at high temperatures, as both can accelerate silicone deterioration
