how often do you change your baby bottle nipples?

Question

hey everyone im new to this whole mommy hood.so i was wondering when should i change my sons bottle nipples. i have been changing them every month and im starting to wonder if i should have waited longer.there's never any damage to them when i change them.but because they go in his mouth i figure he should have new ones often.i use doctor brown bottles.plus hes a 14 week old

I don't change the nipples unless he needs upgrading to the next stage, or if they are damaged etc. If you sterilize them all the time then you shouldn't need to buy new teats every month. Only buy them when the newborn teats aren't enough for him.

I think it's actually supposed to be every 3-6 months unless they are damaged, but I may be thinking pacifiers. You can sterilize them in between buying new ones though. To be sure you should check the instructions on the package and it should give you information on when to change them. 

Congrats on your new baby!

I don't change until the flow is askew... Unless there is a reason don't do it! Too expensive. Wash then sterilize and keep using

I've never changed the nipple and pretty sure she's chewed a few extra holes in it.

I only change them if they get stained from the juice my baby drinks. Or if I get new bottles.

I never changed my daughter's unless they were damaged or looked nasty after I washed them.
