Who (if anyone) would want my unwanted baby bottles?

[tigwig]

I am in the process of weaning my baby off his bottle and wondered where I could put them to good use. I don't think anyone would really buy 2nd hand bottles and I can't do with the hassle of selling them anyway. Do charity shops take on stuff like that? They were very expensive to buy (Dr Browns) and have only been used for 9mths. It doesn't seem right to throw them away, I have 8 altogether.

freecycle?

[NoMercy]

Just use them for storage purposes.

[brenda]

A charity shop would be pleased to have them.

[jomifl]

keep them just in case ...

[anneasquith]

im not too sure anyone would want used baby feeding bottles, could use them as toys ,fill them up with noisy things and different coloured material.

Can anyone remember, years and years ago, baby bottles that were shaped rather like a banana? I seem to recall they had a tit at both ends, but that could just be my memory playing tricks.

[anneasquith]

ye mike you have finally tipped over the edge .lol

[mike11111]

That's a bit harsh! Not my fault if I see things that were never there in the first place.

[D_James]

Like you dear.

Yes, they were like that. I unearthed one in our house when I was in my teens

Oh bugger PMSLU

Would a vet have use for baby bottles? Just a thought.

mike I remember those bottles I still can't work out why there was a teat at both ends.

[anneasquith]

gran, a great answer, a zoo. or an animal sanctuary, i recall old incubators going to the zoo.

[mike11111]

Thank you gran. For a moment I was almost persuaded by the other ABers that I was going daft. Could these bottles not have been designed for twins? Just a thought.

[anneasquith]

see mike, now you have me thinking, i do remember them years ago, and i cant think why the double teat,

[mike11111]

For the avoidance of further dissent, and in order that Molly does not get wind of this thread, can we agree that:
a) I am not daft or over the edge and :
b) such things did exist, and are not just a product of my fertile imagination.

[anneasquith]

yes..............yes............... think you may be right about the twin thing.
