Are Teats and Bottles Standard Sizes

Hi, I don't know anything about bottles and teats (or babies or anything - I'm due first week of Dec ), and I've got 3 glass evenflo bottles, and I'm wondering if they can be used with other brand teats, in other words are different teats interchangeable with different brand bottles?

So I guess what I really want to know is can I use NUK Anti-Colic standard silicone teats, or do I have to stick with evenflo teats only?

Any help would be much appreciated - thanks

Our nuk teats dont fit our Avent bottles (Issy uses Nuk, bottles Elias has Avent ones as thats what fit our expressing pump)

Thanks for the feedback - I really appreciated it.

I found that the NUK Anti-Colic standard silicone teats fit - yay. Only prob was I got the ones for formula instead of breast milk - oh well, I'm sure they will keep until if and when I switch.

Thanks again people

Well apparently with the NUK ones there is. The back of the package says for the 0-6 months - the pink package, they come in three different types small for breast milk and water, medium for formula and large for thicker feeds such as cereals.

To be honest it does clearly say on the front of the pack that it's medium, but I was focused on the bit that said 0-6 months, it wasn't until I got home and read the back properly that I'd realised I'd bought the wrong ones.

There's some great info on the NUK site. Hope this helps.

Haven't read through the rest of this thread but based on what you've asked, I'm using those exact brands...so YES, glass evenflo bottle goes fine with NUK Anti-Colic teat.  Bought the evenflo bottles and never used the evenflo teats.

Age wise can't comment for newborns, only bottlefed bubs from 7 months onwards...although he had the odd expressed feed from a bottle with the NUK teat and didn't seem to have problems...I think formula is a bit thicker than BM though.
