washing bottle nipples

marym94

So this is late in the game and now I am wondering.... I just washed all of LO's bowls and spoons and I read (after the fact) that they should be on the top rack in the dishwasher.  I should have known that... blame it on baby brain?!  I put all of the spoons in the utensil baskets in the bottom - which is where I always put the bottle nipples and rings.  Now I am thinking ... have I made a terrible mistake? the medela bottles say that they are dishwasher safe but I have always put the nipples in the utensil basket on the bottom... LO is 6 months old and I have done this every time! Do I need to wash his spoons on the top rack? Anyone else done this before?

I always put the nipples in the utensil box. Everything else goes in the top. Hopefully I didn't mess them up by doing that. I guess that's why they sell those dishwasher crate things. Oops.

I think that's recommended so that they don't get warped from the heat. I do wash spoons in the utensil basket, but bottles and all the bottle parts go in a basket on the top rack.

I have a dishwasher basket for nipples, rings, etc. I have always put his spoons in the bottom where the other utensils go.

As long as they still seal properly, I'd say no harm was down. I think they are supposed to go on top because it isn't as hot.

Same here on the dishwasher basket. It was pretty cheap and keeps all the baby stuff together on the top rack.
