yes because DD wouldn't take the same bottles that DS used

I'm planning on buying new bottles. We used the heck out of the bottles for DS. Even the material is starting to degrade (it was nice and firm, but is now getting soft). To the point, it set off multiple explosive alerts at the airport security checkpoint. Yea... That was fun!

I bought a few new bottles but was able to use the ones we had because she took the same kind and DS didn't take bottles regularly until I went back to work when he was 9 months, so there was a lot of life left in them. I did buy new nipples though.

Only bought new nipples.

Nipples! We had a billions different brands with DS1 and he only took to one...so we will see which he likes and just get nipples.

Same bottles - just new nipples

@MenagerieMama: I'm reusing mine. I'm guessing it might be how much use they got? #1 only had bottles 3 days a week from 7-12 months since I worked part time so maybe they didn't wear out as much for me.

I bought new bottles because I wanted to use glass ones instead of the plastic ones that DD used.

@MenagerieMama: Our nipples were worn out and weren't flowing as slow as they should be. We had to replace them while using them for LO #1 too because they would wear out. I've heard you should periodically check your nipples to make sure the flow is still correct for what you want and replace as necessary anyway.

@MenagerieMama: I don't recall exact details but I think our Lansinoh ones recommended replacing the nipples about every 2 months. They do wear with use and you can see the difference between a new and used one.

New nipples

@menageriemama: I wanted to reuse our nipples but even with under two years between kids some of the plastic had gone sticky in storage - stupid high humidity!:)
