Goes great with ...
  • Baby-controlled milk flow: Milk flows when baby creates suction rather than simply flowing because the bottle is tilted.
  • Designed with breastfeeding in mind: Created specifically for babies who are being fed expressed breast milk.
  • One size for all stages: No need to move through different Calma teat flow rates as baby grows.
  • Supports natural pauses: Baby can suck, swallow, pause and breathe at their own rhythm.
  • Helps baby control feeding: Baby determines when to start, pause and resume the flow through their sucking action.
  • Compatible with Medela bottles: Designed to be used with compatible Medela breast milk bottles and the Calma feeding system.
  • Reusable: Designed for repeated everyday use with proper cleaning and care.
  • Easy to clean: Calma components are dishwasher safe when placed on the top rack.

The Medela Calma™ Teat is a specialised feeding teat designed for babies who are being fed expressed breast milk. Unlike conventional bottle teats where milk can flow freely once the bottle is tilted, Calma is designed to allow baby to control the flow of milk through their own sucking action. Baby needs to create a vacuum to start the milk flowing, can pause during the feed and then resume when ready.

Developed with breastfeeding in mind, Calma is designed to support a feeding pattern that is closer to breastfeeding than a traditional bottle teat. The system allows baby to suck, swallow, pause and breathe at their own rhythm, while the flow stops when baby stops creating the necessary suction.

Calma is also designed as a single teat size that can be used as baby grows. Instead of changing between slow, medium and fast-flow teats, the Calma system allows baby to regulate the flow through their sucking strength and rhythm.

How Calma works

  • Suction-activated milk flow: Milk flows when baby creates a vacuum by sucking rather than flowing freely simply because the bottle is tilted.
  • Baby controls the flow: Baby can regulate the milk flow through their sucking action, allowing them to pause when they need to.
  • Supports natural pauses: The flow stops when baby pauses their sucking, allowing them to suck, swallow, breathe and rest at their own rhythm.
  • Patented design: Calma uses a specially designed internal system to help regulate milk flow during feeding.
  • One teat for all stages: Calma is designed to be used throughout the breastfeeding journey rather than requiring different teat flow rates as baby grows.

Designed for expressed breast milk

Calma was specifically developed for feeding expressed breast milk. The design encourages baby to actively create suction to initiate milk flow, rather than relying on gravity or a conventional teat opening to deliver milk.

This makes Calma an option for breastfeeding parents who want to introduce bottle feeds while continuing to offer breast milk. It can be useful when another parent or caregiver is doing a feed, when you're returning to work, when you're away from baby or simply when you want the flexibility of offering expressed milk in a bottle.

One size as baby grows

One of the key differences between Calma and conventional bottle teats is that you don't need to change the Calma teat to a faster flow as baby gets older. The flow is controlled by baby's sucking action rather than by selecting a different teat flow rate.

The same Calma teat is designed to remain suitable as baby grows, provided baby is comfortable using the feeding system.

    How to use

    • Assemble the teat: Make sure the Calma teat and housing are correctly assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    • Attach to a compatible bottle: Secure the assembled Calma feeding system onto a compatible Medela breast milk bottle.
    • Position baby comfortably: Hold baby in a supported, comfortable feeding position.
    • Allow baby to latch: Give baby time to latch onto Calma and create the suction needed to start the milk flowing.
    • Follow baby's cues: Allow baby to control the pace of the feed, including when they want to pause and resume.

    Best For

    The Medela Calma Teat is particularly useful for breastfeeding parents who:

    • Want to offer expressed breast milk in a bottle
    • Want baby to actively control the flow of milk
    • Prefer a feeding system designed with breastfeeding in mind
    • Want to avoid changing between different teat flow rates as baby grows
    • Want another parent or caregiver to be able to offer expressed breast milk
    • Are preparing for returning to work or periods away from baby
    • Already use Medela breast milk bottles and want a compatible Calma feeding system

    A little Calma reality check: Calma is designed differently from a conventional bottle teat, so it can take baby a little time to learn how to use it. Baby needs to actively create suction for milk to flow, meaning it may feel different from a standard bottle. Some babies take to it quickly while others need a little practice.

    If you're introducing Calma while breastfeeding is still being established, or you're experiencing ongoing latch difficulties, nipple pain or concerns about milk transfer, consider speaking to a lactation consultant or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

    Please note: This listing is for the Medela Calma™ Teat/feeding system only. A compatible Medela breast milk bottle is required and is sold separately. Calma is designed for feeding expressed breast milk and should always be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Care & Maintenance

    Calma should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. The components are dishwasher safe when placed on the top rack. The Calma system can also be sanitised using a Medela Quick Clean™ Microwave Bag.

    Always follow the cleaning, sanitising and assembly instructions supplied with your Calma teat. Inspect the teat regularly and replace it at the first signs of damage, deterioration or changes in the silicone.
