FF - # of bottles

micheley88

I'm wondering how many bottles everyone has? We have 15 that we use regularly. I feel like I'm washing bottles every other day if not every day. I wash mine in the dishwasher. I get nervous about handwashing them for some reason.

We have 6 4oz and 2 8oz bottles.  She is exclusively FF.  We don't really use the 4oz ones any more because she mostly wants to eat 6oz at a time now.  We wash them after she finishes a bottle.

right now we are using the 5oz bottles and we only have 3 of them. We just wash them after we use them. I thought I would hate it, but I actually love only having the 3.

We're supplementing, but I probably use as many bottles as a FFer. We have about 6, and yes I feel like I'm constantly washing them! I hand wash and then put them into those steamer/sanitizer bags.

We have 5 4 oz ones and 6 8 oz ones and I literally am washing them all day long and don't have a DW so its a PITA!!!!   I wash them as I use them so I don't end up having to wash 12 bottles all at once.

I think we have about 12, it seems like I'm always out though. I also use the dishwasher to wash, I feel like if I do it by hand I won't get all the soap out. (I'm one of those people who washes dishes before putting them in the dishwasher though, so I guess that's nothing new for me). We only have about 5 nipples that work well though, so those I have to do with the nipple brush and rinse really well, then I run them in the dishwasher pretty much every night.

We have 8. I just put a bowl in the sink with really hot soapy water and let them soak for a few hours. We have a drying rack next to the sink, it's a fairly easy method! We also have a microwave sanitizer we use maybe every few days.

We have 3x 4oz bottles and 6x 6 oz bottles. We've just been using the 4 oz ones so far. We handwash them right after he eats.

I have 5 5oz. bottles .. It is a pita to clean then everyday but I know he will be out of them soon since he is already eating 4oz at a feeding.. I figure when he hits the 9oz I will buy more.. Right now I only have 2 9oz. bottles..I have been thinking about getting another set of 3 5oz. bottles just because I do not have much time to clean them but I know if I do he will move onto 9oz. bottles.

We have 3    4 oz bottles, 4    6 oz. bottles, and 5   8 oz. bottles.

 We use about 10 bottles a day.  I was the bottle by hand everyday and once a week I'll stick them in the dishwasher.

We have 6 9oz bottles.  I am constantly using the same one b/c I clean it after every feeding.  I'd rather do that than have 6 bottles to clean at the end of every day.

We have 10.

Just curious as to why you are afraid to hand wash. We hand wash a batch every night, sterilize in the microwave, and prep that night or the next morning.
