What are the pros of baby bottle liners if you don't have nipple liners too?

Asked by Carmella (123points) January 5th, 2010

I need pre-sterilised bottles for a long haul flight, but can’t find any. So instead I’m thinking about using bottle liners… except, that still leaves me with the problem of dirty nipples.

So many of the liner reviews have mothers raving about not having to wash dirty bottles anymore… but what about nipples? I feel like I’m missing something, because if you’re going to wash the nipple, you may as well wash the bottle too, no?

I guess it would cut some time out. I always just threw them in the dishwasher so it wouldn’t really matter for me.

For the flight I would just buy extra nipples and keep the dirties in a ziploc baggie.

@gemiwing Thanks. I suppose so, I guess replacing a dirty nipple is easier than replacing the entire thing.

Bottles often require a bottle brush, and lots of storage space. I had a couple of bottles that held the liners, and about a dozen nipples. It was far easier. I used the liners because less air gets into the baby’s stomach with the liners; before you start to feed them, you can force excess air out of the liner.

Washing only nipples take up a lot less dishwasher space than washing the bottles too. Especially those Dr. Brown bottles with 10 pieces or so each!

Wow. I read this question completely wrong. I get it now. You weren’t talking about real nipples. Oh…

@ItalianPrincess1217 hehehe, so I wan’t the only one With bottle liners, you can get away with only two bottles, and should have at least four to six nipples, which you can throw in a small pan of boiling water.
