Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I have a 4-month-old baby at home. How long can the bottle and nipple be used? I look forward to your answer. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
When using baby bottles, hygiene and disinfection should be paid attention to; the nipple should be replaced once a month. It is best to buy flat-nosed nipples to support the child's dental growth. 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, if the nipple turns dark brown, becomes sticky, or shows signs of aging, it should be replaced promptly.
