Biting through bottle nipples?

My son has made holes in his Dr Browns bottle nipples. He is 15 months and I know I probably should be weaning him from bottles but my question is--will getting new nipples solve this (like maybe they were worn out?)or is he past bottles, has too many teeth for them and will this continue to happen and I need to ditch the bottles?

Re: Biting through bottle nipples?

Maybe it's just a phase? I think there are plenty of kids over 15 months who still use bottles, perhaps like you said they were worn out. Is he teething? I don't think it means you have to ditch them, it's worth a shot to try new ones but by the same token you could use this as an opportunity to wean him off bottles (if that's what you want and you're ready).

thanks, he has tons of teeth and always seems to be teething lol. I might try a sippy cup at bedtime and see how he takes to it if he flips out I will get new bottles/nipples.

I think new ones would just be a bandaid....he will get through the new ones too. I would give sippy cup more.
