With so many options for baby bottles on the market, which is the best for preventing colic symptoms and digestive issues in babies? It is true that choosing the best teat for a newborn requires careful consideration. Anti-colic baby bottles are now available as a solution to fulfill the baby's need for breast milk in a safe and comfortable way through their superior features.
For the baby's comfort, let's get to know the characteristics, how they work, and the differences between anti-colic teats and regular baby teats on the market. Check this out!
What is Colic and the Advantages of Anti-Colic Teats
Before recognizing the benefits of anti-colic teats, understand what colic is first. The colic experienced by babies can appear suddenly, triggered by several things such as the baby being hungry, gas contained in breast milk, overfeeding, the presence of cow's milk protein in breast milk, or even a less-developed nervous system.
One of the most visible symptoms of colic in a baby is when they cry consistently, 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, for 3 weeks. To find out if these are indeed symptoms of colic experienced by your little one, consult with your pediatrician first.
Don't be confused, Moms. One way to prevent a baby from being fussy, gassy, and uncomfortable is to switch to an anti-colic teat, which has a different design than a regular teat.
An ideal and good baby bottle features an anti-colic teat and an air vent system, where the mechanism characteristics can reduce the volume of air entering the baby's body while feeding. As a result, the baby can drink breast milk comfortably without swallowing too much air, thus being free from colic and digestive issues.
Here Are the Differences Between Anti-Colic Teats and Regular Teats
One of the causes of a baby experiencing digestive issues and being fussy for days can be a bloated stomach after feeding without being burped. To address this, anti-colic baby bottles were created to help the little one feed comfortably and remain free from bloating problems.
Mothers are now starting to switch to anti-colic baby bottles because of their ability to prevent colic and bloating in babies. Unlike regular teats, the shape of a good and comfortable teat for the little one must be equipped with an anti-colic feature.
However, the fact is that not all teats are equipped with an anti-colic feature, even though this feature plays a very important role in preventing colic symptoms due to improper feeding, such as bloating or non-stop crying.
If the baby is very fussy, constantly passing gas, and uncomfortable, the biggest cause is likely the use of a baby bottle without anti-colic technology. Regular teats allow air to become trapped in the milk flow, so air can be swallowed, leading to a bloated stomach or the baby choking on breast milk.
How Do Hegen Anti-Colic Teats Work?

How do anti-colic teats work to make the little one comfortable while breastfeeding?
Hegen baby bottles are equipped with a built-in anti-colic air vent at the top, minimizing trapped air in the milk flow so it is not swallowed and causing the baby to be bloated, have stomach pain, or even choke.
The anti-colic air vent system on Hegen teats, which is a valve with the best ventilation technology, can minimize the formation of air bubbles and minimize air oxidation in the milk, which can reduce breast milk nutrients.
The Hegen anti-colic baby teat is integrated with its soft teat, which mimics a real nipple, making it simple and easy to wash. The Hegen teat is designed from safe, soft material, and its shape, which resembles a real nipple, can prevent nipple confusion.
The Hegen teat features an asymmetrical off-centre teat position, as well as a 20-degree tilt. This asymmetric design prevents the risk of milk backflow and keeps the baby more upright while feeding at the right angle, just like breastfeeding directly, which feels natural for the little one.
In addition to the asymmetrical off-centre teat and air vent system, the anti-colic teat holes vary with flow rates to suit the little one's age, which can reduce the amount of air swallowed.
Fortunately, all Hegen Anti-Colic Teats have only one hole, where the flow rate of each teat is determined by the size of the hole. For your little one's comfort, you can choose Hegen baby bottles based on the baby's age category.
Teats from Hegen have varied breast milk flow rates that can be adjusted to the baby's age, with details as follows:
- Newborn to 1 month = 60 ml size + extra slow flow teat
- 1 to 3 months = 150 ml size + slow flow teat
- 3 - 6 months = 240 ml size + medium flow teat
- Above 6 months = 330 ml size + fast flow teat
There are no exceptions for using anti-colic teats; you can give this teat especially to your little one who is often fussy, seems upset after feeding, and passes a lot of gas. Thanks to the superior teat features and the way it works, which is different from regular teats, the little one will be more comfortable feeding from the bottle.
