switch up bottles or no?

I know I asked once before and I dont know why I'm struggling with this but I'm still on the fence about changing bottles...We used Dr. Browns for L and NEVER had an issue- so I was going to buy a new set (L still has a bottle here and there and since the bottles are almost 2 years old- why not replace)

My only issue is I hand-washed them for a good part of the first year...and it was kind of time consuming and call me lazy but I dont want to do it...so I was thinking of switching to the drop ins....

thoughts?

That is exactly what I did.

The only thing is, glass is still better than any kind of plastic, but if you are going for easy, do the drop ins (which is what I did.. I was like a single mom with 2 kids, I was not going to stay up washing bottles hunched over the sink with a painful c-section..)

 We used/use Dr. Brown's for both of our LO's.  I wash them in the dishwasher using one of the dishwasher inserts.  I stand the tube parts up in the side holders, put the nipples on the top and the brown things that go in the tubes inside the holder.  I stack the rings around one of the dishwasher racks, as well as the caps. I never had a problem getting them clean - I just don't overfill the dishwasher or the dishwasher insert. 

 I also reused Claire's bottles but bought all new nipples and bought lots of new ones when they were on sale.

You know my opinion - drop ins are an awful on the environment ;-)  I always put LOs bottles in the dishwasher.  Is there a reason Dr. Brown's can't go in the dishwasher?

You know me- Im just a freak... 

No- they can and once L turned 1 - I started washing the bottles in the DW- I still hand wash the internal pieces...

We washed ours in the dishwasher.  A did not do well on them so we are using hte Nuk ones, which I really like.  These will also go in the dishwasher once it is fixed  .
