Since it's Friday and all....

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Stupid question - Do I need to change out the bottle nipples??

I know Binky's are every 2-3 months... So it would make sense for bottles to need it too? TGIF

    Well you're right about the stupid part. As long as you're washing them, you dont have to replace them. IF they get stained or dirty for another reason and you dont feel comfortable using them then you can replace them.

    Same goes for pacis. You can wash them and sterilize them so you dont have to continually buy more.  Yes

    No - just replace them with the same flow/size... They are starting to get kind of flimsy now.... Do they only last so long?

    This totally, only I would have been a bit more rude because I'm pissy tonight.

    You should replace your paci's every two to three months - as per the package.

    I only replace them as often as I replace dishware, water bottles, plastic spatulas, etc that I wash after every use.

    Can some one just answer the question???? Sheesh. It's because they are getting flimsy - not because I can't wash them. lol

    If they are getting flimsy, then yes, replace them. You don't want any weak spots on nipples, pacifiers etc.

    People did answer the question. No where in your OP did you mention them getting flimsy or anything. If you want to replace them, replace them. I really don't know what else to say.  You don't HAVE to but if you feel better then do it. Jeesh.

    If that is true then I fail. My DD uses my DS's old binks.  He is 2 1/2.  There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them.

    Have you tried sterilizing them? I'm not sure why they are filmy.

    Yes. If they are getting flimsy or holes, then you have to replace them. Check them for spots or holes. And try to be more direct in your questions.

    we havn't replaced the nipples, but we replace the binkys when they get cloudy. We just boil them every other month, and wash them with dish soap in between uses.
