If the bottles/ nipples I used with DD are in fine shape and have been in storage just just under year - is there any need to replace them? I am assuming I can just sterilize and get on with life, but a friend said they were getting new bottle nipples for their new LO.
I bought some new nipples to replace the ones that were used a lot (level 2) but the level 1 that were only used for a few weeks, I reused those. I sterilized them and I think they are fine. They were only used for about 2 weeks with DD since we had nursettes the first 2 weeks from the hospital then we changed to level 2 after the first month.
Re: Bottle parts question
I would get new nipples.
& depending on what bottle you use, you might want to replace the ventilation pieces. We used Dr. Browns with #1 & those inside parts got pretty yuck.

We used Avent bottles FWIW.
