Bottles

This might be a really silly question, but what have you all done with the bottles your baby no longer uses? We have a lot of smaller size mam bottles and teats that are useless to us now and it's weird for me to just throw them away

Haven’t gotten rid of any yet but I did buy an extra set of Dr Browns on Vinted, so you could try selling there?

Vinted or charity shop

I threw mine away…

I think my partner threw ours away 🙈 I wanted to pop them in the charity shop but he said it was weird and no one would buy them. It was easier for me to just say "do whatever" than deal with them.. 😬

@Laura @Allie I did think vinted tbh! Thank you!

@Michaella I'm such a horder and have emotional attachment to everything so this is why I struggle 🤣

@Louise I like this approach! 🤣 although knowing my other half, they'll live on the kitchen side till I do something about them 😅

Keep or donate the bottles, chuck the teats if they have been used and you won't be using them again. Most people won't buy secondhand teats online x

I threw my teats and kept bottle cus I’m pregnant. I would sell them if you want to or give away but if I did I wouldn’t sell teats. Someone will buy them and use them and it’s recommended to not reuse them xx

Most towns have a “freecycle”page on Facebook where you can give things away/get things from other people for free, you could see if your town has one

Mine are in the cupboard

Charity shops can’t sell them as they are classed as a bio product apparently. I worked in one when I was in school and the amount that got thrown away was disgusting. See if you can donate them to a womens shelter as long as they are free from any milk stains and damage they may take them from you. Or even an animal’s shelter to bottle feed kittens or puppies

I just put ours on Facebook market place for £2 each and someone bought them they had literally been used for about 8 weeks only

I’ve not gotten rid of them MAM ones yet but I sold some nanobebe ones I never used on vinted, might do the same with these too

I kept bottles from my first to use with our 2nd (and 3rd) but binned the teats. Depends on your future plans

I've stored my smaller bottles away for the time being incase we have another baby in future then will only need to buy brand new teats for them. ( Mam bottles) As mentioned above some people sell their old bottle necks on Vinted.
