How often should you change baby bottle nipples?

It's generally recommended to replace baby bottle nipples every 1-3 months, or sooner if:

* They show signs of wear and tear: This includes cracks, tears, holes, or any change in shape or texture.

* The nipple flow is too fast or too slow: This can make feeding difficult for your baby and lead to choking or frustration.

* Your baby is showing signs of nipple confusion: This can happen if the nipple is too soft or too firm, or if the flow is different from what your baby is used to.

* Your baby is showing signs of colic or gas: This could be caused by air getting trapped in the nipple during feeding.

Here are some additional tips for caring for baby bottle nipples:

* Wash them thoroughly after each use: Use hot soapy water and a bottle brush to clean the inside and outside of the nipple.

* Sterilize them regularly: This can be done with boiling water, a steam sterilizer, or a dishwasher.

* Store them properly: Keep them in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Note: The frequency of nipple replacement may vary depending on the brand, the type of nipple, and your baby's feeding habits. Always consult your pediatrician for specific recommendations for your baby.
