NUK Perfect Match Teat 2 Pack

The NUK Perfect Match Teat 2 Pack is a set of soft, flexible silicone teats for the NUK Perfect Match bottle system. Part of NUK's newer Perfect Match range, the teat is designed to nestle gently against your baby's lips and palate, encouraging the wide-open latch that midwives and paediatricians recommend so milk flows in a relaxed, unhurried way. It's a handy replacement set whether you're refreshing worn teats or changing flow as your baby grows.

These are replacement silicone teats, so they fit into a feeding routine you may already have going. The teats come in a slow, medium or universal (variable) flow option, each carrying the built-in NUK Anti-Colic Vent, and are made in Germany from BPA-free, medical-grade silicone that's odourless and easy to clean and sterilise.

Match the flow to your baby, not just their age

The Perfect Match teat is available in three flow rates, so you can suit the outlet to what your baby is drinking and how they're feeding. Ages are a guide — your baby's own coordination and cues are the better anchor for when to move up.

• Slow Flow (0m+): A slow, steady flow suited to breast milk, tea or water, and to newborns finding their rhythm.
• Medium Flow (3m+): A faster flow suited to formula feeding as intake grows.
• Universal Flow (6m+): A variable outlet that lets baby regulate the flow themselves, which also suits thicker feeds like follow-on milks or purées.

A soft, skin-like feel at every feed

The teat sits within a large, wide lip rest that's designed to feel like skin against your baby's lips. Because of this, your baby's mouth stays on the soft, supple silicone throughout the feed and never touches the firm plastic parts of the bottle — which is part of what makes it a comfortable option for combination feeding, where you're moving between breast and bottle.

How the anti-colic vent works

• NUK Anti-Colic Vent: The vent lets air into the bottle during feeding to prevent a vacuum forming, so your baby can keep feeding steadily. It's designed to help reduce the air baby swallows and support a calmer feeding rhythm.
• Smoothly tapering shape: The teat's contour is designed to help baby latch with the mouth wide open, so milk flows gently rather than being pulled hard.
• A good seal matters too: Making sure baby has a good seal around the teat helps keep air from slipping in at the sides of the mouth.

How to use and care for your teats

1. Before first use, place the teats in boiling water for 5 minutes, using enough water to avoid damage.
2. Clean thoroughly with a mild washing-up liquid after each feed, and sterilise before every further use — the NUK Steriliser is recommended.
3. Always dismantle the bottle into its component parts before boiling or steam-sterilising.

Best For

The NUK Perfect Match Teat is a great option for parents who:

• Already use NUK Perfect Match bottles and need replacement or additional teats
• Want to change flow rate as their baby's feeding develops without replacing whole bottles
• Are combination feeding and want a soft, flexible silicone teat

It may not be the right fit if you:

• Use a different bottle system — these are designed to fit NUK Perfect Match bottles
• Prefer a latex teat over silicone

In independent market research in Germany (2023), mothers and midwives reported high acceptance and a natural latch, with the teat accepted by 98% of babies. Every baby is different, so it may take a little trial to find what suits yours.

Pandylane Pro Tip: For hygiene and safety, it's worth replacing teats around every 2 months, or sooner if you notice any tears or cracks — keeping a spare pack on hand means you're never caught short mid-routine.
