Washing Dr. Brown bottles?

laura-n-brian

How do you wash them?  I have been hand washing them and well, it's getting old.  Do you put them in the dishwasher or what?

dishwasher top rack.  It helps if you have one of those baskets for nipples & bottle parts too.

We use Dr. Brown's too, and yeah it gets REALLY old washing them by hand all the time. We have the dishwasher basket but it doesn't really hold very much honestly.  We stopped using it.  We're just washing by hand now.  Annoying but quicker.

I have 2 munchkin baskets for the parts and the nipples, and I was them all in the dishwasher on the top rack.

I use the dishwasher too.  I have one of the baskets for the small parts, and I put the tube part and bottle over the spikes (I don't know what they are called) in the top rack of the dishwasher. That seems to work just fine.

We didn't want to run the dishwasher every day so we wash by hand.  We use the Dr. Browns bottle brush (not that much different from others) and then we sterilize them (bout of thrush in the past so we do this extra step).

I do put ours in the dishwasher.

We wash them by hand.  I think by the time we would put them in the dishwasher we would need them to be washed right away.  We only have 6-4oz ones and 3-8oz ones.  It's probably quicker if we just wash them by hand anyways.

we hand wash because i don't like putting plastic in the dishwasher but i read somewhere that getting an inexpensive lingerie bag to put all your pieces in and then top racking them works well.

I put them in the dishwasher, but I have just rinsed them out really well and put them in those medela microwave bags to sterlize them. That works really well, too.
