He liked the mOmma bottle best so I had to buy a whole new set. </p> <p>DS1 to DS2 - yep, same bottles just new nipples. I actually started him off with a medium flow bc this time around my letdown is much stronger and overall I have more bm supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559492 Tue, 31 May 2016 12:48:35 +0000 ValentineMommy 2559492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We reused the bottles and got new nipples. We would have reused them too, except that they had yellowed and started cracking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559347 Tue, 31 May 2016 08:50:47 +0000 Rescuemom10 2559347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I saw the new ventairs are different and saw they had horrible reviews. Going to hold on to my old ones then. I LOVED them. Glad I saw this as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559327 Tue, 31 May 2016 08:15:19 +0000 cascademom 2559327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got new bottles because our old Avent ones were piddly to use with the washer thing. The newer ones don't have them. We also used Tommee Tippee bottles too, so we got new ones of those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559321 Tue, 31 May 2016 08:11:42 +0000 snowjewelz 2559321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 will be 25 months younger; all our bottles are in good condition so I'm planning to re-use all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559217 Mon, 30 May 2016 20:21:21 +0000 loveisstrange 2559217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tossed ours when C weaned. They were tore the eff up by the end. I would have considered just replacing the inner/softer pieces and nipples (Dr Browns) if ours hadn't have been so beat up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559105 Mon, 30 May 2016 13:22:02 +0000 Finfan 2559105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got new bottles. Both of our babies were EFF. There are 3.5 years apart and the old bottles looked questionable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559104 Mon, 30 May 2016 13:20:14 +0000 littlebug 2559104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Planned to reuse them, but when I pulled them out of storage, they had a film and smell to them. I sterilized them but they still seemed funky, so I tossed them and bought all new. Glad I did, too, because D used the Tommee Tippee anti-colic with all the parts, and A doesn't need that. So MUCH easier washing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2559084 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:09:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 2559084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going through this now. Just pulled out all the old Dr Brown bottles I used for L who is now 4 years old. Decided to toss them out and buy them new because they looked kinda filmy. I'm sure they are fine but it's only $15 for a new set of 4 bottles so I figure it won't break the bank </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558924 Sun, 29 May 2016 15:27:30 +0000 Mrsbells 2558924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558918 Sun, 29 May 2016 14:53:31 +0000 dolphin 2558918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got new bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558841 Sun, 29 May 2016 08:57:42 +0000 simplyfelicity 2558841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably just replace the nipple since DS chews on them pretty vigorously and call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558840 Sun, 29 May 2016 08:52:24 +0000 avivoca 2558840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on using the same bottles and just replacing the nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558836 Sun, 29 May 2016 08:23:00 +0000 bloved 2558836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used "new" bottles because I HATED the Dr Brown bottles we used with our first. However, they were only new to us- they were hand me down Avent bottles from a friend (I just replaced the nipples). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558835 Sun, 29 May 2016 08:21:47 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2558835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: we did a combo of hand washing and using the dishwasher and I think the times we used the dishwasher did a number on them! Like I said it's probably completely fine. It's more of a personal preference for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558803 Sat, 28 May 2016 22:36:40 +0000 Mrsbells 2558803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: we did handwash ours too but i didnt notice any stretching, I did replace nipples that got old though. Otherwise we just threw them in hot water to sterilize them every now and then and they bottles still seemed new by the time we stopped bottle feeding </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558797 Sat, 28 May 2016 22:08:57 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2558797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I guess I'm the odd one out but we didn't even use the same bottles the whole time that dd took bottles. They start to look worn and retain something of a smell too. And I think the nipples do stretch out if you hand wash. It's probably fine, but IMO bottles weren't going to break the bank and we knew we would be likely to EFF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558699 Sat, 28 May 2016 15:40:12 +0000 Mrsbells 2558699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558698 Sat, 28 May 2016 15:39:07 +0000 Alba4 2558698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping to reuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558695 Sat, 28 May 2016 15:32:25 +0000 mamabolt 2558695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got new nipples but reusing bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558693 Sat, 28 May 2016 15:20:34 +0000 youboots 2558693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tossed all the nipples but will reuse the bottles.

But we had a 2 year gap. I think 4.5 years is still fine, unless you use latex nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558677 Sat, 28 May 2016 14:17:23 +0000 Ms maths 2558677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We reused everything, including nipples.

No issues.</p> <p>I'm glad I kept them because they discontinued the Ventairs I used (and loved) and the new version ssssuuuccckkkssss </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558653 Sat, 28 May 2016 12:53:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2558653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lon2 ended up not taking what we had so yes we had to get all new. Maybe keep 2-4 bottles but replace nipples is that's what baby likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-all-new-bottles-for-lo2#post-2558650 Sat, 28 May 2016 12:51:24 +0000 Mrsbells 2558650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the playtex ventaire bottles with LO and there is going to be a 4.5 year gap between them, should i throw out LO's bottles or reuse for them LO # 2 and just replace the nipples? </p>
