The teat of The Medela Special Needs® Feeder is close to the shape and consistency of a nipple, mimicking nature. Because of its anti-colic advantage and special teat, this bottle is often used by breast feeding mothers if they require a short separation from baby. This product is from the Medela range of trusted feeding accessories. The Medela Special Needs® Feeder Complete Bottle Set includes a bottle, 2 membranes, 2 teats, collar and disc. The membrane should be replaced every 5 weeks.
