Foggy nipples? (bottle)

Question

I breastfeed exclusively and pump for when I'm working so I never really feed my baby a bottle but I notice when I sometimes wash the bottles and nipples the nipples are kind of cloudy looking. Idk if that's normal or if they're not getting cleaned well. I usually rinse them, sometimes with soap, and boil them. Any word?

Answer 1

I had the same problem with my son's nipples for his bottle. I just scrubbed them better with the nipple brush end and it cleaned them better, therefore they didn't have the foggy look to them anymore.

Answer 2

That seems to happen when you boil them.  They are fine, just keep washing and boiling after each use, and replace them when they start getting to soft!

Answer 3

I noticed that the nipples are clearer when I use the bristle portion of the bottle brush. It must scrub away the residue or something. We just wash the nipples with soap & hot water using the bottle brush and they're pretty clear --- of course not as clear as when they're brand new!
