Well I guess because they don't get handled by germy hands. You should really keep on top of hand washing, bottles touch counter tops and peoples hands, which all give small babies tummy bugs that they aren't strong enough to fight like a 9 month old. Plus bottles go everywhere where as your nipples stay snuggled up in their bra

Nipples create an oil that cleans and protects the nipple.

Bottles r sterilised to prevent the formula milk becoming contaminated and a breeding ground for bacteria whereas breastmilk has no way of gettin contaminated unless expressed (which is y pumps etc r sterilised)

Lol - Good question!

I've never done anything to my nips Like Esoames, I don't wear perfume. It's strong enough when people stand near me, let alone when resting on my hips!
