how do you wash bottles?

megann831

I like to do it in the dishwasher, but I don't run it often enough to do it everytime.  I use those tiny little brushes to clean the nipple, but I realized DD gets fussy and acts like she's choking because some of the tipple tips have been cracked because I guess the little brush pokes through.  How do you do it?

Dishwasher, but we go through so many dishes we end up running it every day or every other day.

Usually hand wash in the sink since we don't have a ton of bottles and we don't run the dishwasher every day. When I wash the nipples I just swish it around in the hot soapy water and rub the inside with my finger so we don't get damaged nipples. Seems to work great.

Right after I am done I put the bottles and nipples in a bowl of very hot soapy water.  I let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then rinse.  I only use the nipple brush if I need to not with every wash.  I also use the dishwasher if I know I am going to be running it soon.

I fill my sink with hot soapy water every night and wash the bottles, caps, nipples and pump parts from the day.  I prefer the dishwasher but don't have enough dishes until mid week.  After the nipples are washed and dried, I put them in the Germ Doctor, along with my pump parts.

I load them up in the dishwasher, which we run often enough.

But when I'm out of clean bottles and we haven't run the dishwasher, this has worked great. It has a sponge tip and then the brushes. Also, a q-tip helps get the nipples really clean.

I only have two bottles so I just hand wash them in hot soapy water right after each feeding. I use the nipple brush maybe once every third or fourth wash.

I just hand wash in between feedings. THey don't need to be put in the dishwasher (or bottle washer) every time!

 

I then throw them in the dishwasher when its full (usually twice a week)

We have enough bottles to get us through one day's worth of feedings plus an extra one for the diaper bag.  At the end of the day after all are used I place the bottles,caps and nipples in hot soapy water for about 5 minutes.  Then I use the bottle brush and rinse at the same time.  I then place all of them in the microwave steam sterilizer (Munchkin) and set them in the microwave for 4 minutes.  It work well for us and I feel like they are really clean.
