For those of you that have a second child or are about to are you reusing your bottles and nipples from your first child or buying new ones? If you are reusing are you going to boil the nipples again?
I reused them. I did boil them before using them. I didn't want to go out and buy new ones because if she didn't like it - that would have just been a waste of money

Also- dd has gotten about 90% less bottles at this point. So I haven't really used them. I would like to but she hates formula!

We replaced them...on the packages, they say to replace every 3 months. I never did that, but I figured I could replace for the next kid. Same with pacis. But all of DS's old pacis and nipples were pretty yucky looking!!
I bought new bottles/nipples. We used Nuk bottles and when DD started getting bigger, moving up a flow speed would have meant a different size nipple and she wouldn't take it. So we made "y" cuts in all the nipples to make them faster flow. They would have been too fast for DS when he was born.
We originally tried just getting new nipples but he didn't like the same bottle in the beginning, so we went ahead and got new bottles.

I threw away all the bottles/nipples that looked kind of skanky and bought new ones. I think I kept maybe 2 or 3 bottles that I barely used.
