I had to try 4 different bottles before I found one he would tolerate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840941 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 19:10:29 +0000 DesertDreams88 2840941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even replace the nipples.... but we had a large rotation (6-8 Level 1s, 6-8 Level 2s, 4-6 Level 3s, etc) and I EBF for some months here and there with both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840929 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 18:06:46 +0000 LAZB 2840929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as the others, and I had gotten my bottles as hand me downs lol. My kids don't take bottles much though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840928 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 18:06:40 +0000 Mrsbells 2840928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone I might try that option of just replacing the nipples. The ventair bottles also have a silicone piece on the bottome i might see if i can replace those too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840927 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 18:02:38 +0000 Alba4 2840927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We reused bottles but got new nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840915 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 16:16:42 +0000 snowjewelz 2840915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the same bottles/nipples (bought some new nipples since some were just worn out) between my 2 kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840909 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:49:04 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2840909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d just get new nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840907 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:38:40 +0000 SweetiePie 2840907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can reuse the bottles just buy new nipples. Since they can get holes/weaken/degrade. </p> <p>I just ran my old bottles through the dishwasher since that sanitizes. And got new nipples. 3.5yr age gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840904 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:25:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 2840904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sterilized the bottles, bought new nipples. 3.5 year age gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840897 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:05:08 +0000 kiddosc 2840897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I replaced the nipples but sterilized and reused the bottles. My kids are 3.75 years apart. We had such a huge stash of bottles that it didn't make sense to replace them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840896 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:02:31 +0000 LadyDi 2840896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you not supposed to reuse bottles? I have been reusing the Dr Brown bottles I had from DS1, who's now three. I just boiled them before I used them with DS2 since they had been in storage in the basement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-bottles-for-next-baby#post-2840895 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 14:59:20 +0000 Mrsbells 2840895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 4 years older than DS so I got rid of her old bottles before DS arrived. But now we have baby #3 on the way. I still have the ventaire bottles that DS stopped using about a year ago. I want to just buy new ones but I wonder if I should just boil the ones I have and keep using them.<br /> What did you do if you have been in this situation? </p>
