How many bottles and nipples do you have?

jenifairies · October 2008

I'm just switching to formula and this washing bottles 2-3 times a day is getting old already. How many do you have? I think I need more.

I hate washing too. We have 22 8 oz bottles. I think I am the extreme. I have no idea how many nipples we have. Maybe 30 or so.

We have six 4 oz bottles, 10 nipples; we have 8 oz bottles and nipples in the pantry.

Oh, and I agree. We need more. I'm sick of washing bottles.

Ugh, I'm dreading this! I want to try EPing now so I'll be looking for these responses!! If I were to make a guess, though, I'd probably get enough for 2 days of feedings, so 12? Then if it's a bad day and I can't get to the dishes fast enough, I'll still have room for error. I'd say "just" use the Drop In system but apparently those who are a little obsessive end up washing them anyway after each feeding (ahem, me).

thomas&lynn- i use drop ins. and i wash all the parts. formula/milk touches them all. how could you not clean it??

you don't have to wash the bottle part every time

The only parts that touch formula or my son's mouth is the liner and the nipple. I rinse all the parts every use (besides the nipples, they get washed every use) and then wash them every couple of days.

Don't mean to hijjack but I wanted to comment that I really SHOULD just rinse the holder, ring, and cap to save time (and be able to use the system the way it was created to) but I seriously can't hold back. I've got the water and soap all there and I HATE the look of the holders when they have drooly hand prints on them. I use the premium holders so any sumdgies are very visible, unlike with the original holders.

I DO notice that formula makes more of a mess of things than BM, though, due to the powder getting in the grooves etc.

I have maybe 14 of the 4 oz and 14 of the 8oz. drop ins. I like to have some always in the diaper bag and I do dishes every day and a half or so.

We have about 12 8oz bottles, 6 fast flow nipples and drop ins.

We use 6 bottles a day.

RedBrideNC · October 2008

We have 10 bottles & 22 nipples

Wow, I'm in the minority...and so are my bottles. I have 4 5oz Playtex VentAire's w/ the same # of nipples. I send her to daycare w/ one bottle and two medela refills tho, so only use one bottle a day... Daycare provider rinses the bottle between feedings and sends her home w/ all three water rinsed.
