2+ Moms...reusing bottles?

emaddock · April 2012

I EBF my DD but had to pump and bottle feed breast milk for daycare. I was planning on replacing all the nipples for those bottles but keeping the bottles. A friend of mine just went out and bought all new bottles. Thoughts?

I'd be okay with reusing the bottles with new nipples. I plan to buy new but that's because I want to try a different brand.

I plan on just reusing the bottles we have. Ds ebf and it was mostly on the boob, the bottles weren't used a ton.

We are planning on using the same bottles. We will just replace any silicone parts. It seems wasteful to buy all new bottles.

I think I'm going to buy new. I only BF'd DD for 2 months so her bottles look pretty worn out. They are kind of cloudy and discolored. But I plan on getting the Dr. Brown's again, loved them!

I'm planning on reusing. I need to check out the condition of the bottles and nipples and go from there.

I have glass bottles so I def. plan on reusing them (i bought glass because they last longer) and just replace all nipples

Apparently I'm clueless on this, but do you need to replace the nipples? I ebf, so I bet we only used his bottles 10 or 20 times. Does the silicone just need replaced periodically?

Yeah, the silcone/latex will break down, so should be replaced. As far as reusing the bottles, I don't see any problem with it as long as 1.) They are still in good shape. 2.) They don't contain BPA. I know a lot of the newer bottles don't but the ones we used for DS 7 years ago did, so I won't be using those again.

We will probably use the same bottles but buy a few more and buy new nipples. We started using Tommee Tippees with DS when he was about 7 months old and we love them! But because we bought them so late (we were using another brand before) we didn't buy a lot. I would like to add a few more.

Our aventbottles leaked. I chucked them.

I would be reusing the bottles, but I gave them all to my sister when she got pregnant. So we'll be buying new ones. I know one of my friends went out and bought all new bottles as well. I think it's just personal preference.

If we have another girl - we will reuse the same bottles and just replace the silicone parts. The only bottle DD would take was the NUK bottles and they didn't really have neutral ones - we have mostly pink bottles - I think a couple green. Assuming LO2 will drink from that type of bottle, we will reuse them. If we have a boy I would probably get a couple blue ones to send to daycare for him.

Reusing the Ventaire ones but buying new silicone pieces. Also going to buy a few new ones. Threw out the Dr. Browns they were great in the beginning, then started leaking.
