Split teats on baby bottles

[Happy82]

We have a set of bottles for our son's milk (he's now 8 weeks) and last week we noticed that he went from feeding comfortably to choking and spitting out a lot of his milk. On inspection we saw that all of the teats had split so as he was sucking, there was no control of the milk entering his mouth (Rather than a small hole at the top, a line had split at the end of the teat)

The blurb on the teat box recommends changing them every 2 months, so how long should teats last? These have lasted just 3 weeks (since we switched him to comfort milk) which seems a little short considering the bd things cost £4 for a pack of 2

We've got in touch with the company that produce them and so are awaiting a response.

Gosh that is a very short time, I changed Elise onto the next step teats at 3 months. I use the Tommy Tippee ones.

These are Tommee Tippee too, we had to use the Variflow due to him needing comfort milk. We thought it was a bit of a short life expectancy too

O/T, but one of my cats chewed the teat completely off a bottle in about 30 seconds.

Email a complaint and see if they'll send some free replacements that is ridiculously short.

We had Dr Brown bottles, the teats never split.
