Latex teats are made of natural latex, a high-quality, natural material.
But Silicone teats are made of high-quality plastic and transparent silicone material which is temperature-resistant, whereby even direct sunlight does not cause the material to age.

Latex is a soft material, and it is more nipple-like than silicone, so if you are planning on combining bottle and breast feeding, latex teats may make this easier.

Silicone, however, gets scratched up more easily. Silicone teats should therefore be replaced at the first sign of teeth marks by your baby or other form damages.

Babies may initially reject a new latex teat because of the way it tastes, so it is advisable to place it in boiling milk for 3 minutes, as this will neutralize the taste. However, the fat in the milk will make the teat age more quickly. Latex teats only come in 2 sizes: Size 1 for babies from 0 to 6 months and size 2 for 6 to 18 months. Toddlers of 18 months and older are usually able to feed themselves, so from this age it is recommended. This is why silicone soothers are only available in size 1 and size 2.

Choosing between latex and silicone is completely up to you and will depend upon your and your baby’s needs.

Don’t you just hate it when you see those milk stains on your baby’s feeding bottles? If you washed those bottles immediately, then those stains would come off real easy. Unfortunately some of us aren’t so quick in washing them as there are other things that need to be done before we can wash them. From the long span of time that those baby formula are left in the baby bottles, those stains now will be hard to remove.

Running water thru the bottles won’t remove the stains easily so this is the best method of getting those bottles looking spic and span. It’s a simple process that anyone can do. First thing to do is run the bottles thru running water to remove some of the easier stains out. Get a handy dandy sponge or brush and soap it up. The soap will soften the stain somewhat.

After soaping them, the bottles are put in a pot filled with hot water but not boiling water and let them sit for a few minutes. Make sure the bottles are completely submerged in the hot water. The normal time recommended leaving them there is about 10 minutes or so. After the 10 minutes, the bottles are taken out from the water with a thong as they will be hot. Let them cool a bit and soap them up again using a sponge or brush.

This final washing should do the trick and leave you with clean and milk stain free baby bottles.
