Can you reuse the Enfamil disposable nipples?

These are supposed to be disposable but I reuse them and sterilize them in steam. They get softer and the bottom rubber cracked off once because I sterilized it too many times. So I try not to use them more than 2 weeks now.

  2. Wanting more bottles during the day.
  3. Going less time between feeds.

Why do newborns need slow flow nipples?
