Patient's question:
Hello! I want to ask how long bottles and nipples can be used and how to determine when they should be replaced? First follow-up question: Is it one month to replace the bottle, one month to replace the nipple, or both the bottle and nipple are replaced every month?Doctor's answer:
When using baby bottles, pay attention to hygiene and disinfection; nipples should be replaced every month. It is best to buy flat-nosed nipples to promote the growth of the child's teeth. Baby nipples come in various materials, so the usage time depends on the material. For example, silicone nipples are recommended to be replaced every 3 months; if they are made of latex, they should be replaced every 2 months. Generally, 2~3 months, or when the nipple color turns dark brown and becomes sticky, it indicates that the rubber has aged and should be replaced promptly.
