The packaging recommends they be disposed of after one use. However, I’d like to wash them and get a few (3-5) more uses out of them. Is this safe as long as I get them good and real clean?
*I also known that I should NOT boil the nipples and bottles, per multiple nurses at the hospital. They all adamantly told me never boil the nipples.

The hospital told me that the bottles sometimes can be used a second but that you really have to watch the nipples for any weakness as they aren’t made to be repeatedly washed and you can’t sterilze them like you would a regular nipple. I was just given lots of extra nipples and told that for the first 2 wks I could reuse the bottles if I needed since the bottles are perfect size for a newborn but I didn’t ever reuse them as my son didn’t like them anyways.
I think they will be fine. They are made for hospital setting where everything needs to be sterile and preemies b/c of being sterile. Just wash the up and do watch for signs of weakness like the previous poster said. Are they plastic or glass. If plastic, I probably would not warm them as they may not be for that.
No…I know it seems like a good way to save money but you cannot get them as clean as they need to be. They also lose some of there strength when you wash them in hot water.
hmmmm im guessing there called disposable for a reason you could try asking a professional though
