Medela Calma Solitaire Teat
This new teat ensures that babies do not have to change their natural feeding behaviour.
Whether you breastfeed or use Calma – the milk only flows when the baby “works” for it.
Why Calma?

Our latest studies with researchers from the University of Western Australia show that creating a vacuum is essential to successfully breastfeed.
Babies learn very early on that they have to produce a vacuum for the breastmilk to flow.
Their natural way of sucking requires intensive work during breastfeeding!
Standard teats accelerate an unnatural technique
When you give your baby a bottle with pumped breastmilk and a standard teat, it learns a different technique as to when you breastfeed it.
The pumped breastmilk flows automatically and does not stop when the baby wants to pause or breathe. So the baby chokes more easily and can develop difficulties in its regular breathing.

Similar as with breastfeeding, your baby can

Drink, pause and breathe in its natural rhythm,
Create its individual vacuum through a combination of tongue and jaw movements,
Retain its natural way of sucking, which allows an easy transition from breastfeeding to feeding breastmilk with Calma and back to the breast.
