Baby Bottle Nipples

It is important that baby bottle nipples be inspected before and after each use. Changes in nipple texture, such as nipple tears or holes, can appear with age and exposure to heat, certain foods, and sunlight.

Any bottle nipples displaying signs of wear and tear should be discarded immediately- a child could choke on broken nipple pieces.

More about baby bottle nipple safety can be found in Health Canada's Hazardous Products Act:
