Bottle cleaning ?

laubeth87laubeth87
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I've been washing LO's bottles and nipples in hot soapy water, daily. I don't have a dishwasher, so it's done by hand. Do i need to be doing more than this? Should they be boiled or sanatized daily?

    I wash the same way, but about once a week (sometimes a little less often) I will boil them.

    i just wash them in hot soapy water and let them air dry.  I have put them in the dishwasher, but I don't think they get as clean because it doesn't get into all the nooks and cranys.

    We wash all of our bottles by hand too, since we don't have a dishwasher. I boil them usually once a week.

    I do the same,  and sterilize them once a day.

    Ditto for me! I use a bottle brush and hot soapy water.  I bought a sterilizer and I try to sterilize them every other day.

    We only bottle feed once a day so I sterilize them before each use.  I wash them by hand and then use the Medela microwave sterilizer bags.

    We wash in the dishwasher, but when we dont have a full load, we just rinse them out and use a bottle sterilizer in the microwave.

    am I the only one that doesn't sterilize?  I guess I don't really see the point if the they are washed well with hot soapy water.

    This. And I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one...I just don't have the time unless I know there is a CERTAIN benefit! My LO drinks exclusively from bottles since about 2 weeks old and has never been sick.
