 Topic: chu chu teat tearing
Posted: 05 July 2010 at 5:49pm |

Hi
I have been using chu chu teats when bottle feeding which are great because it means the baby gets to control the flow of milk. However, I have found that the cross cut valve in the teat starts to tear and make the opening too large within 1-2 weeks. Given each teat costs $6 this is getting way too expensive.
Has anyone else used chu chu teats and had this problem? Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong thats causing this?

same thing happened to us... it was the first teat we used (recommended by SCBU homecare nurse) and it must have split really quickly...DD would cough and splutter her way through each feed, poor thing, it took us a while to work out the teat was actually split!
it is a bugger, as they are expensive (I think we spent around $15, from breastmates)
perhaps it's worth some feedback to the manufacturer / retailer given that it doesn't seem to be a one-off?

I use them and I haven't had any problems at all - have had them 4 months, and my baby would have a bottle every second day.
I would go back to where you got it from.
And goonnappy are WAY cheaper than breastmates!

We arestill using these on the days when DS is in care. No problems here. We don't put themin the microwave at all as using ebm so don't know if that would make a difference? Of the 4 that I've bought, only 1 has split like that and that was after solid use for a few months and going inthe microwave with formula. If you are going bottle and breast feed I would really recommend that you try these. There are a couple of girls from my coffee group that were using normal teats and their bubbas soon refused to bf.
