How often to change bottles

[Lil Bugs Mummy]

Just wondered how often to change the actual bottles, i change teats every 2-3 months but have only just changed bottles after 6 months what does everyone.

I just bought new ones for my new baby

I would like to know this too. I've been bottle-feeding my 3 month old for 6 weeks so we're still on the same set of bottles. Do they wear out?

I changed my bottles from small to big ones whenever that transition was and then buy s couple every fee months to replace the older ones. Not really as a hygiene thing as I washed and sterilized properly etc but I like to buy stuff lol and new bottles were never 'wasted money'.

My DD is 8mths and I've never replaced her bottles. They're the glass Pigeon ones - tall and narrow. Not sure about whether you need to with plastic though.

I gave my son quite a bit of EBM, and have full weaned him recently at 29 months, but give him bottles.

I have been using the same bottles for 2.5 years, and the same teats (the newborn ones as I didn't want him to have a faster flow than the breast).

Actually, I did buy some new teats recently, only because he bit through some of the old ones.

Thanks for the replies i have changed them as i was sterlising now she is 6 months i am not and they are plastic and were being microwaved sterlised so i was just concerned about them being microwaved all the time these ones i will just keep until they looked worn, my mums glass ones lasted forever she still uses them when going bush walking for milk storage and they look new. thanks for the advice

When i first put DD on bottles i changed them every few months. But at $11 dollars a bottle (avent) I soon only started throughing them out if they cracked. Once she started licking the floors I became much more relaxed with germs/hygine/sterilising.
