Tommee Tippee has launched its Natural Start Perfect Latch Trial Kit, which includes a 60ml bottle and two different extra-slow-flow teat shapes. The company says its teat range was accepted by 98% of babies in a survey of 89 parents, but the small trial does not show that every baby will accept either teat.
Tommee Tippee has launched its Natural Start Perfect Latch Trial Kit, a £6.99 baby-feeding set that includes one 60ml bottle and two different extra-slow-flow teat shapes. The kit is intended to let families try both options without buying separate bottles, although the company’s reported acceptance figures come from a small trial and do not guarantee that either teat will suit an individual baby.
The kit contains a Deep Latch teat and a Wide Latch teat, both with an extra-slow flow. Tommee Tippee describes the Deep Latch teat as triangular-shaped and designed to encourage a deeper, breast-like latch. The Wide Latch version has flexible ridges intended to move in a way the company says resembles the breast. These are product design claims, not evidence that a particular feeding outcome is assured.
The pack also includes a 60ml Natural Start bottle, a milk cup for feeds of 10ml or more, and a storage lid for expressed milk. The bottle has an anti-colic valve and can be self-sterilised, according to the product information. It can attach to compatible Tommee Tippee breast pumps, but not the brand’s Wearable Breast Pump.
Tommee Tippee says the kit is available online from its own store, Boots and Amazon at £6.99. The source report also lists a Boots offer for 10% off selected baby products when spending £30 with code BABY10; availability and promotion terms may change.
One Kit Offers Two Teat Options
Choosing a bottle teat can involve trying more than one shape, especially for families introducing bottle feeds alongside breastfeeding. The kit puts two teat designs in one purchase, potentially reducing the need to buy multiple full bottle sets just to compare shapes. Its small bottle and included milk cup also provide different ways to offer a feed, subject to a family’s needs and any advice they have received.
The product does not remove the uncertainty of feeding: babies differ in what they accept, and the supplied trial figures cannot predict an individual baby’s response. For parents considering bottle, expressed-milk or combination feeding, the kit is an additional retail option rather than a guarantee of easier feeding or a substitute for advice from a health professional.

What the Kit Contains
The product was developed with healthcare professionals, according to Tommee Tippee and the MadeForMums report. The two teats have different shapes and features, but both are described as extra-slow-flow. The company says the Deep Latch design aims to reach the soft palate and reduce air intake, while the Wide Latch ridges are intended to support a natural feeding pace and help reduce nipple confusion. These descriptions explain the designs’ intended purpose; they do not establish that the teats prevent feeding problems.
The kit’s milk cup fits inside the bottle and can be used for cup feeding. MadeForMums notes that healthcare professionals may sometimes recommend cup feeding as another way to offer expressed breast milk while breastfeeding is being established. Parents should seek individual guidance from a midwife, health visitor or other qualified professional if they have questions about feeding methods, milk amounts or difficulties.
“We understand that every baby is different, and that finding the right teat can make a real difference to a parent’s feeding journey.”
— Martin Cooke, chief operating officer at Tommee Tippee
Trial Results Have Limits
Tommee Tippee says its teat range was accepted by 98% of babies, and that nine in 10 parents would recommend it. The figures came from an independent survey commissioned by the company involving 89 parents in the UK and US with babies aged 0 to 12 months. Participants trialled the teat range in November 2025, according to the report.
The available information does not give further detail about how acceptance was defined, how the participants were recruited, or whether the results have been published in a peer-reviewed study. The sample is small, and the reported percentages should not be treated as a prediction for all babies. It is also unclear how the two teat shapes performed separately or whether the trial compared them with other products.
Availability and Feeding Advice
The kit is listed for purchase from Tommee Tippee, Boots and Amazon at £6.99 in the source report. Retail stock and prices can change. No further product launch dates, additional trial results or follow-up research are provided in the report.
Families deciding whether to use a bottle or cup can discuss their circumstances with a pediatric or maternity-care professional. Feeding concerns should be assessed individually; the kit’s product descriptions and survey results do not establish that it will resolve them.
Key Questions
What is included in the Tommee Tippee Perfect Latch Trial Kit?
The kit includes a 60ml Natural Start bottle, one Deep Latch teat, one Wide Latch teat, both with extra-slow flow, a milk cup for feeds of 10ml or more, and a storage lid for expressed milk.
How much does the kit cost and where is it sold?
The source report lists the kit at £6.99 from Tommee Tippee, Boots and Amazon. Retail prices, stock and promotional offers may change.
Does the kit guarantee a baby will accept a bottle?
No. Tommee Tippee reports a 98% acceptance rate for its teat range in a survey of 89 parents, but that result does not guarantee acceptance by an individual baby. The report does not provide enough detail to predict how each teat will suit a particular child.
Can the bottle connect to a Tommee Tippee breast pump?
According to the product information, it connects to compatible Tommee Tippee breast pumps, with the Wearable Breast Pump excluded. Check product compatibility with the manufacturer before use.
Is the milk cup intended to replace a bottle?
The cup is an additional feeding option that fits inside the bottle. The report says healthcare professionals may sometimes recommend cup feeding for expressed breast milk while breastfeeding is being established. Ask a qualified health professional what is appropriate for your baby.
