Pigeon Nipple Flexible 12+ LL Y-Cut, 2 Pieces

These are size LL replacement nipples with a Y-shaped cut rather than a round hole. The difference is real rather than cosmetic. A round hole drips continuously under gravity, so the flow is fixed by the hole size. A Y-cut stays closed until the baby sucks, then opens, which means the baby sets the pace and milk does not pool in the mouth between sucks.

It also copes with thicker feeds that would block a round hole. LL is the larger size, for older babies who have outgrown the slower options.

Benefits

• A Y-cut opens only under sucking, so the baby controls the flow rather than gravity controlling it
• No continuous drip means less milk pooling in the mouth, which suits a baby who gulps or pulls away
• Handles thicker feeds that a round hole would block
• Buying replacement nipples is far cheaper than replacing whole bottles once teats wear
• A two-pack means a spare on hand, since a torn teat always shows up at the wrong moment

How to Use

• Check these fit your bottles before first use
• Sterilise before first use and clean thoroughly after every feed, including inside the teat
• Move up a size when your baby feeds impatiently or takes noticeably longer to finish
• Inspect before every use and replace immediately if you see tears, cracks or stickiness
• Replace periodically even without visible damage, following the pack guidance
• Never leave a baby to feed unsupervised
