Question
Shalom and blessings.
I have a few important questions:
1. Regarding Pesach – is it permissible to use for a baby the same bottle and pacifiers that are used all year round? The baby eats Materna, and the bottle is washed in a sink that is separate from the Pesach dishes.
2. Someone who has his sister’s wedding on the night of Lag BaOmer – is he allowed to take a haircut before sunset on the eve of Lag BaOmer?
3. A few weeks ago I threw flour into the garbage and some of it scattered in the area of the bookcase. I did not see that it was actually on the books themselves. There was a Pesach Haggadah on the shelf there. Do I need to be concerned that flour may have touched it, or is it permitted to use it? (I did not see any flour on it.)
Thank you very much!!!

Answer
Shalom and blessings.
1. If during the year you use boiling water, then according to the basic halacha you should use a new utensil (bottle, etc.) for Pesach; but if you only use cold water, there is no obligation, and it is enough to wash it well. However, the common custom is not to use on Pesach something that was used for chametz throughout the year.
2. It is permitted to take a haircut close to the time of the wedding.
3. If you did not see any flour on it, a thorough shaking is sufficient.
