dishwasher basket for pump parts??

junebride060306

do you use a dishwasher basket for pump parts? if so which one? I have a freestyle pump. there isn't enough space to put the parts in the utensil basket as it is filled with utensils! and just putting them top rack doesn't seem right. I squeezed them in my dr.browns basket but that holds like next to nothing. I bought the munchkin baskets but haven't opened/tried them yet..... TIA!

I use one of the munchkin baskets  for most of my parts. It works great. On tip I did get though if washing your parts in the dishwasher is make sure your not putting other things with grease on them in there too.

I use a mesh lingerie bag instead. I throw the pump parts, bottle parts (and now that he's older, sippy/straw cup parts in there. It goes on the top rack and takes up no room at all!

I got a set of 2 baskets from BRU.  I put DDs bottle parts in there as well.  I definitely would get one of these b/c otherwise the parts that are fragile are bound to get ripped/torn.  Even using these baskets I have had to replace a few peices over the last year.

I have the munchin one, too.  Works great.

I have the basket too. I put my funnels on the sticks that cups go on on the top rack, and everything else in the basket.

I put the shields upright in the top rack and the smaller parts in the munchkin basket.

For my PISA parts, I put the horns in the top rack and use the munchkin baskets for the yellow part and the valve thing. I put the yellow part where the nipple goes and the other part in the bottom of the basket. I use 3 sets of parts a day and wash all 3 in the same basket. I also heard that you are supposed to remove the membrances when you wash. I don't, I leave them on the yellow part.

But I think the freestyle parts are different so maybe that won't work for you.
