My little boy is 6 months old and is still using the same bottles that I bought before he was born. I keep chcking them for scratches ete and they are all fine. I'm just not sure whether I need to change them or just keep using them. I want to start him on a cup in a couple of months so buying new now would be a waste, but I will buy if I need to. I have changed the teats so I know that they are ok.

Your baby can use the same bottles all the way through as long as you are changing the teats regularly, you might find it useful to know that asda sell a Tommy tip pee beaker type thing that is very good only £1.99 and it has a soft teat on it.

My daughter is 9 months old and we have the same bottles from birth. The only thing we have replaced is the nipples since they get worn out pretty quick. Especially after teeth come in. As long as the bottles have been sanitized and are in good condition I say keep them. No need to waste money when babies are expensive enough on a daily basis.

as long as you change the teats keep the bottles stalalise then that is fine to do. but u should start using a training cup at an early age or he/she will get to use to sucking on the teats of a bottle

My 3rd child was using the same bottles that were bought for the first. New teats were bought when needed. So long as they are in good condition and not perished then they are fine.

No need to change the bottles, and since you've replaced the nipples, they should be fine. My 6 month old son is using the same bottles that he started using when he came home from the hospital

as long as you check for scratches or splits then they are fine. you are doing the right thing by checking the teats regulary. Now he is six months he will start to go through them alot quicker. I would say not to wait to give him a beaker start now you can get small beakers with soft mouth pieces but don't get them "any way up cups" they are very hard to suck out of and he wont like it.

I didn't mean to switch bottles with my oldest. I was using Advent, and my brother bought Playtex AirVent. So I ended up switching.
When I had my twins, my oldest switched to a bottle no problem, so I used the AirVent with my twins. I bought more off EBay.
I only had trouble when my oldest would bite on the tipple. When he was teething. Other than than.. never a problem.
I'm expecting our 4th child, and I plan to use the same bottles witth the next.

As long as they are not cracked and don't smell funny, like mold or something, you continue to sanitize them they should be fine. Replace the teats when necessary, don't waste your money on new ones if they aren't needed.

We used VentAire bottles for my first son, then reused the same bottles for his younger brother. We bought new nipples and discs every 3 months, but the bottles were fine.

Bottles should be fine but may want to change the nipples. She might want faster flow since she's older now (stage 1 to stage 2 faster flow). Other than that they're fine.
Good Luck.
