What is Medela Calma Teat Only Nipple?
Calma is an innovative feeding solution designed for breastfed babies. It doesn't interfere withbreastfeeding and, since your baby continues to feed as he or she learned at the breast, the transition from breast to Calma and vice versa is seamless.
Medela's Calma teat is an alternative to breastfeeding for mothers who wish to bottle-feed their baby. It has been designed in cooperation with breastfeeding experts from the Human Lactation Research Group headed by Professor Hartmann at the University of Western Australia. This Calma mouthpiece helps your baby to feed, swallow and breathe exactly as he is used to doing with the breast:
He can drink the milk, take a break and breathe according to his natural rhythm. His habits remain unchanged, and hefeeds just as he does at the breast, remaining calm and relaxed.
In the same way as with the breast, he needs to create a vacuum for the milk to start flowing.
He can maintain his natural sucking behaviour, making the transition from breastfeeding to using the Calma teat (and vice versa) easier.
This tip is especially appreciated by breastfeeding mothers who use a breast pump. It enables breast milk to be given by bottle, while breastfeeding is maintained. It facilitates the transition from breast to bottle to breast, as baby uses the same suction as that acquired at the breast.
We also offer you Nuk Mommyfeel Sucette Silicone 0-6m Boite de 2, a soother similar to the mother's breast for a soothing experience.
How do I use the Calma tip?
- We recommend waiting until breastfeeding is well established before starting to use a pacifier.
- After each use, wash all parts of the accessory set with soap and water to prevent milk residues from drying out, and thus avoid the proliferation of bacteria.
- Always refer to the enclosed instructions for use.

Your expert pharmacist's advice
It's normal for your baby to be slightly agitated when you start using Calma. Indeed, this could be the first time your baby comes into contact with something other than his mother's breast. Although Calma seems perfectly normal to us, to your baby, it doesn't smell, taste or feel like his mother's breast. So you may need a little patience before your baby accepts Calma.
Medela's Calma is an alternative to breastfeeding for mothers who wish to bottle-feed their baby. With Calma, your baby can feed, swallow and breathe exactly as he would at the breast. Calma's flow rate, shape and length are designed to adapt to your baby's needs as he grows. Calma features a unique venting system that helps your baby avoid swallowing air when sucking. The Calma teat can be used from birth.
