Is there any reason why my kids can't share bottles?

So dd, two and a half, still ha a bottle. Yeah yeah I know she shouldn't but pick you battles and all that. We reckon we'll get her off it when we get ds off it when he's a year or so and ban bottles from the house.

Meanwhile ds, nearly six months, has just moved on to the same teat - tommy tippee number 3, and as ds is weaning we're going to stop sterilising and just do hot soapy washes.

So is there any reason why the two can't share teats and bottles. Not at the same time - but we could wash them all and have one lot of bottles we use for either of them as the need arises. Any reason why not?

I can't see a reason, but you may want to get rid of the older bottles you have. As they get older they can get worn and the scratches can harbour bacteria.

Yes I did that when ds was born. Bought big ones for dd and small ones for ds, so none more than six months old now.
