Notes From a Real Mom – Latex Nipples EXPIRE!

I learned something last week. Latex nipples have an expiration date.

I know that most moms use silicone, but I liked the latex ones with Jake because they were easier to suck. Like the thrifty mom I am, I simply scrubbed them within an inch of their life and put them away until Brian showed up.

I’ve been using them for two months, and recently went to buy a new pack to have on hand when I skimmed the back.

1. Latex nipples should only be boiled on time and hand washed after that. Check – already knew that.
2. Latex nipples should be replaced every 2-3 months. Oops.
