Do you boil the nipples after every use? If not how do YOU wash them? Do you use bottle soap or just regular Dawn or other detergent?

We used regular Dawn, just a smidge. We would boil them every couple of weeks or so to just sterilize them. I loved the playtex bottles. The kids took those best and they were so easy to deal with.

I put them in the dishwasher. I boiled randomly - once a week/every other week. Pedi and LC both told me regular boiling wasn't necessary.

I only boiled them before first use. Between uses, I just ran them thru the dishwasher. Every week or so i put them in my microwave sterilizer. They don't need to be boiled every time.

I hand washed them with hot soapy water. I never had enough nipples to last until I was ready to run the dish washer. I boiled them after each time DD was sick.

Only boiled the before first use...other than that, just washed them in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher.

Ditto this...I felt like the steam in my dishwasher was hot enough.

I used Playtex drop-ins for both of my kids, and Yes I steam sterilized the nipples after each use. I washed the nipples and bottle parts with regular dish soap then steamed the nipples in the microwave. I also sterilized my pump parts after every use.

We just use hot soapy water too - I use them too often to put in the dishwater on a regular basis. I have boiled them a couple of times with other things, but not on a regular basis.
