Do bottles etc last???

[Daffodil Mumma]

Im just wondering how long bottles, dummies etc will last?? Are they worth packing up and keeping for next bub or do they go bad???

[Rach75]

bottles should be ok, teats I personally wouldn't nor dummies unless they have never been used

[{sarah}]

I wouldn't keep dummies or teats to use between babies, the latex ages. The bottles themselves should be ok, depending on how long they have been used & what condition they are in.

the standard Nuk bottles that DS had would have done a couple more babies, but I wouldn't keep the teats or dummies

i have about 3 bottles that are 11 years old from dd there fine but the teats are NO good they crack and go funny, i have bottles and teats bought new 14-16 months ago and i am still using them and they are fine. and think fi they are in good condition ill use them for next bub All manufacturer state please check teat prior to each and every use.

Ah ok cool thanks guys
I was just sorting thru DS's kitchen cupboard....it seemed like such a waste to throw everything out since the cost of them really builds up quickly!!!

I just found 3 bottles in my cupboard that are at least 20 years old. I don't have the teats as these would have needed replacing.
I have also used the old bottles for measuring liquids when cooking.

I have used the bottle themselves before but not dummies or teats..
