How many bottles do you have in rotation?

emward · February 2011

Hello Everyone! This is my first time posting on here, but I have gleaned some great advice from the bump thus far.

For those mommas with babies that are exclusively bottle-fed - how many bottles do you have in rotation? We don't have a dishwasher but we are planning on getting one in the very, very near future, so I am interested in hearing from those with and without a dishwasher. Thanks!!

we have a dishwasher, but i wind up hand washing the bottles. we have 6 dr. brown's 8oz bottles. LO eats 6 times a day, so i'm always washing a bottle here and there.

Hi! I feed him when I'm home, but he does get watched by my boyfriend, a friend, and my SIL's mom when I'm at work. We have six bottles at our house and six at my brother's house (where my SIL's mom watches him). We don't have a dishwasher and it's a PITA, to me. I hate bottle washing. I've considered buying more bottles but then it'd just be more to wash.

9 Dr Brown's 8oz bottles. We go through 6 a day so it is the perfect amount. We just round up all the bottles each night and wash the batch. We use the dishwasher for them, but I won't run a half empty dishwasher so it may be a few days before we have enough dishes to run a load with bottles.

We have 8 Tomme Tippee bottles. We have a dishwasher but never put the bottles in there, we always hand wash them, it's just easier.

DD gets 3 top-ups/day currently and we have 9 5oz Born Free bottles. It's too many now, but I figure as she needs more top ups, we'll use them.

We have 6 and I hand wash them. I am not a fan of putting the kids things in the dishwasher...

We have 12 Evenflo glass bottles. 6 are 8oz and 6 are 4 oz. We wash bottles every night. DD uses about 5-6 a day.

This!

Eight bottles: three 8-oz bottles and five 4-oz bottles

I hand-wash them rather than putting them in the dishwasher, mainly because we don't run the dishwasher every day.

I have 10 - 9oz Avent, which worked great, but Nicholas was having spit up and reflux issues so I changed him to Playtex Dropins - so I have 4- 8oz of those.

They are taking 4 bottles a day, so I handwash the bottles since I was my pump parts too.

I have 15 9oz bottles, this way I don't have to wash them everyday and I can always keep a few in the diaper bag, so if we go out and he doesn't use a bottle I can just leave the bag packed for the next outing.

We have 7 Playtex Drop-In bottles that we us in rotation throughout the day. We don't have a dishwasher, so every night I hand wash the bottle, nipple, and ring. I also prepare the bottles for the next day every night by putting liners in each bottle and prefilling the bottles with water so the water will be at room tempature for the next day (we don't warm up her bottles, we just use room temp water).

Too freakin many.

I have 6 regular Gerber bottles and 12 playtex nursers.

We have 24! Though we are using less at this point. And I have twins. Our thought was to have enough for two days.

NoelO2007 · February 2011

We have 6 8oz Dr. Browns bottles. I handwash and sterilize after each use.

I have 5 NUK bottles and DD eats 4-5 times a day so it works out perfectly. We have a dishwasher but I hand wash and use a microwave sterilizer for the bottles since I don't run the dishwasher every day.

We have 8-8oz Dr. Brown's bottles and I hand wash. They dry quicker if I hand wash. Occasionally I will put them in the dishwasher but prefer hand washing.

We use the same bottles - though we have 9 of each - I keep at least the 4 oz bottles full and in the fridge - and I wash as I go.
