DISCONTINUED - as an alternative please view Universal Teat which works well for babies who are breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
Chu Chu teats work the same way as a nipple. The milk only flows out when the baby sucks and latches like a breast, the milk won't drip out unless baby is sucking correctly. The normal breastfeeding pattern is for baby to take the mother's nipple right up to the areola and suck hard to obtain milk.
With the Chu Chu teat, baby takes the teat right up to the pseudo areola. The milk hole is cross-cut and located at the centre of the teat making baby suck hard to obtain milk. Ordinary teats have the hole at the top, and it flows out regardless of sucking action - which causes baby to obtain milk too easily, getting lazy, and then often not returning to the actions for breastfeeding.
The Chu Chu teat will allow mother to switch between breast and bottle feeding without too many problems.
