Bottle-feeding mamas - WWYD?

in May 2011 Moms

After trying several bottles, we settled on the Dr. Brown's for the boys. If you use them, you know how expensive they are. We currently have 10 of them: 4-4oz bottles, 4-8oz bottles we keep at home, and 2-8oz bottles that we keep at DH's grandmother's house (since she watches the boys 2-3 days/week). My mom loves to shop at garage sales and she bought us 3-8oz Dr. Brown's bottles for $1 (d@mn good price of you ask me!). However, I'm not really sure what I want to do with them.

Regardless, we'd get new nipples for them since I'm just not comfortable with them using some other kid's used nipples. However, I'm not sure if I should use the bottles at all. Would you? I mean, I can sterilize them and buy new nipples, right? Should I just replace all the plastic inserts as well as the nipples and still use the bottles? Throw them all away? WWYD?

    I would buy new nipples and sterilize the crap out of the rest. Maybe steam them, soak them, and repeat a few times?

    I would get new nipples and sterilize them by boiling.  I don't know why- but that seems more sterile than the steam bags.  (yes- stupid... I know)

    I probably wouldn't bother and just throw them away, but I'm paranoid with stuff like that, especially for DD.

    I'd do this too. We were just given a crap load of Nuk bottles from SIL and that is what I did. I don't see why you'd throw them away. If your really worried about it get new plastic parts, but I wouldn't bother.

    I have bought a box of the pre made Enfamil glass bottles. I kept them and pre make bottles for the fridge in those than pour in the bottle I use to feed him. Its much easier to heat up in the glass bottle too, and than I steralize and reuse.
