Tracking one thing
Track When a Bottle Nipple or Teat Was Last Replaced
A bottle-nipple tracker answers a narrow household question: when was this nipple or teat last replaced? Wen keeps that product event shared and factual. It does not select a flow, inspect the part, or assess feeding.
Keep the nipple record product-specific
Use a label that distinguishes the bottle set or product when the household has more than one type of nipple or teat.
- Record that a named bottle nipple or teat was replaced and when it was marked.
- Keep replacement separate from bottle cleaning, sanitizing, and feeding.
- Keep flow selection and compatibility questions with the relevant product source.
- Use separate records for different bottle systems when their parts differ.
- Do not treat a timestamp as proof of hygiene, fit, feeding success, or safety.
Why caregivers may record a bottle-nipple replacement
Bottle nipples and teats are small feeding parts that may be handled by several caregivers and may look similar across bottle sets. A named replacement record can answer which product event happened and when.
Manufacturer guidance differs. Philips Avent describes inspection, damage, compatibility, and a brand-specific replacement context, while Dr. Brown's lists its own wear signs and product guidance. These sources support product-aware logging, not one Wen schedule.

Keep replacement separate from flow and feeding
Replacing a nipple is not the same event as changing its flow level, cleaning the bottle, preparing formula, or feeding a baby. A household may want separate Stickers for those distinct questions.
Wen records the chosen replacement event. It does not inspect silicone, valves, residue, fit, flow, compatibility, or a baby's feeding behavior.

A replacement date is not a feeding assessment
Product sources may mention damage, weakness, flow, leaking, or other feeding-part context. A timestamp cannot show whether any of those conditions exist or whether a feeding was successful.
Use the record to find when the product event was marked. Keep questions about feeding, intake, coughing, choking, or a baby's health with an appropriate professional source.

Wen
How Wen helps track bottle-nipple replacement
Wen lets an invited caregiver mark a bottle-nipple Sticker on a shared Timeline. The latest mark answers when that equipment event was recorded, while the history remains available to the household. Wen does not select, inspect, or validate a nipple.
- Create one clearly named bottle-nipple Sticker.
- Mark it after the replacement happens.
- Let invited caregivers check the same last-tracked time.
An equipment record, not feeding advice
Wen does not recommend a nipple flow, brand, compatibility combination, replacement interval, cleaning method, or feeding response. It does not assess feeding, safety, or health and does not replace product or professional guidance.
