Medala bottles

Hi,
I have bought the medala swing and I bought the expensive medala calma teats - my new baby seems to choke on milk from the calma teats, I bought some time tippee bottles and she's fine with them.
Does anyone know if there are any other teats that fit on the medala bottles please? Cannot seem to buy just the teats (with collar) anywhere. Unless anyone knows if the teats fit in the calma collar somehow?

I use the calma teats but have you still got the yellow two part tops which came with the bottles - a collar and a sort of disc which fits inside to completely close it? The separate teats get held on with those collars.

I assume you've found the various flow teats for sale? I know they have them in mothercare if you want to look at them in person rather then just using Amazon etc.

The bottles I bought just came with a yellow lid, no teats so I wanted to just buy the teats but I can't see to find them wothout buying more bottles.

I might be answering the wrong question. Are your bottles like these ones?
www.medela.co.uk/breastfeeding/products/collecting/bottles
You see the lid there, it comes apart into two pieces - push on the middle part with the lid upside down if you're not sure. To use the teat you just use the outer ring part to hold it on.

If your bottles didn't come with those lids you might be able to get them elsewhere, but that's what you need, plus a pack of whatever teats you want to use (different flow rates), they are sold in lots of places - such as mothercare for slow flow ones, link:

(Search mothercare for medela teats if that link doesn't work, it's looking a bit long!). But the collar/lid things don't come with the teats, only with the bottles, so you need to make sure you've got the ones like in the first link as well as buying teats.

I think boots standard feeding bottles are the same size as medela
