Generally speaking, it is best to replace the feeding bottle used by the baby every 4 to 6 months, but if it is a glass feeding bottle, it should be replaced when fragments or cracks are found. If it is a plastic bottle, it is best to replace it in time if it has discoloration, dents, or deformation.

Compared with the feeding bottle, the pacifier also needs to be replaced in time. The pacifier is easily deformed after being used for a long time. The baby sucking the deformed pacifier will affect the development of the oral cavity. Generally speaking, the pacifier is replaced every 1 to 2 months on average, but if the pacifier is deformed, torn or discolored, it needs to be replaced. And when the baby grows up and changes the pacifier, you should also pay more attention to the model when changing the pacifier.

How many bottles does your baby need?
Generally speaking, babies need at least 3 feeding bottles when they are 0-6 months old, one for breast milk, one for formula milk, and one for drinking water. According to the difference in the amount of milk the baby eats, some people have different sizes of feeding bottles at home, so in general, at least 3-6 feeding bottles are needed before the baby is 6 months old.
After the baby is 6 months old, in addition to the basic feeding bottle, he needs to drink a lot of water. At this time, he needs to prepare a special cup for drinking water, such as a duckbill cup or a learning cup. After the baby is 12 months old, most babies start to wean, and even if they drink milk, they are mostly formula milk powder. At this time, only 1-2 feeding bottles are needed, but because the baby drinks a lot of water, it is best to prepare a baby water bottle.

Finally, I would like to remind all parents that the baby’s feeding bottle needs to be sterilized. Generally speaking, the traditional method of sterilizing baby bottles is to boil them in boiling water for five minutes, and then take them out after cooling. However, many families are now equipped with feeding bottle disinfection equipment. Generally speaking, babies within 6 months must be cleaned and disinfected every time after drinking milk.
Babies over 6 months old need to clean the feeding bottle every time they drink milk, but only sterilize it once every 1-3 days. Babies over 1 year old can be disinfected once a month or two according to their own conditions. Generally speaking, a lot of feeding bottles are prepared during the baby’s growth.
