Bottle storage

jendem8

How do you store/organize bottles? I have a boon lawn but don't want them sitting out all of the time. This is something I haven't thought much about yet because I EBF, but when I go back to work I would like to have something figured out. Thanks!

I cleared out a shelf on the cabinet by the sink for them.  I store the bottles upside down on a paper towel and then all the "guts" ( I have Dr. Browns, so there's lots of parts) I keep in a plastic basket next to the bottles that I got at the dollar store.  Then when I need a bottle I just grab the basket and get out the parts that I need. So when I unload the diswasher it makes it easier to just throw everything in the basket together, too.  Hope this helps!

Right now everything is all over the kitchen counter, but I plan to start using a clear plastic storage bin that I can put on a shelf in a kitchen cabinet. I will just throw everything in the bin.

I cleared a spot in one of my cabinets and have and big plastic basket that I toss everything in.

I have a drawer in the kitchen. Inside the drawer I use a tupperware for nipples, rings, and lids.

I keep everything on drying racks on kitchen counter. I am also EPumping so it's best place for me since I'm going through many bottles and pumping parts.

I let them dry in th dish rack and then transfer them to a tub that I keep on the counter top. I usually fill all the bottles up with breastmilk and line them up in the fridge since I EP.

God bless all of you who EP.  That's really amazing to me.  Dealing with pump parts and all of that extra work... that's awesome of you.

I agree w @jendem8‌ . Pumping twice a day and keeping up with everything for two bottles is plenty for me. EP is a whole extra level of dedication!!

I ended up ordering this... I'm hoping it works well.

I have two of the grass things, one in the cabinet for storage of extra bottles, and one on the counter for drying. I actually didn't even register for it, but got two at my shower. I am putting them to good use though.

I just leave them on our drying rack bc we have no extra counter space but I FF so we are using them everyday.

I have Dr. Browns bottles and I wash them, dry them on the Boon grass rack and then put all the pieces back together so I can easily grab them without having to assemble them.  

I cleared out two shelves in a cabinet to the right of my sink above the drying rack.  On the top shelf I have my extra Medela bottles and pump parts (I keep most of it upstairs under my bathroom sink since I pump while doing my makeup and hair in the morning) and on the bottom shelf I have all my Dr. Browns bottles.  The big ones (9 ounces) are in the back and the smaller ones (4 ounces) are in the front.  I have a plastic bag with spare Dr. Browns parts in another cabinet....I'm lucky to have so much storage space.  

Oh, another thing is that we wash all my Medela bottles in the dishwasher but the Dr. Browns we wash by hand and occasionally boil to sanitize.  It helps keep the drying rack from overflowing too much...
