New teats - how often??
Hi ladies,
Wonder if you can help me, I seem to remember reading somewhere that you should buy new teats every few months or so.
Is this true? Do any of you do this?
Lo is 9 weeks old tommorow and we use TT bottles and are using no 2 teats, we also have no 1 teats and vari flow ones which we aren't using at the moment.
I don't mind buying new teats if there is a reason t odo so, but will work out very expensive changing every few months if this is the case.
Any help would be great, thank you xx

I personally think it will probably be judgement as to whether or not to replace them! If they look ok and they are no tears, rips, scratches etc then I can't see an issue! If there is any wear though I would replace them! Otherwise you may get dried milk / bacteria in the teat which you can't wash out!
Years ago teats were made of something that went sticky with age & deteriated but mine are fine. My sister has given me her pump she bought 8yrs ago which has some teats in & they are as new!
I bought TT bottles for Hugh & some vari flow teats but I'm not impressed with TT vari flow as it is basically a big hole! - AVENT is a slit which makes a bigger hole depending on which way around you're holding it, much better.
