Fatty film inside bottles

hmjb86 · February 2016

I exclusively pump so my son gets all his milk from a bottle. It is all breast milk, no formula. We've noticed a fatty film inside the bottles though after he eats. Other than scrubbing each bottle for 5 minutes with hot water and dish soap any suggestions on how to get it off? Or advice on whether I really need to? It doesn't really come off in the dishwasher and boiling bottles doesn't seem to help much either.

Hmm, the film on my son's bottles always washed off in the dishwasher. Maybe a new detergent?

I use dapple dish soap washing with a paper towel first, scrub with the brush then sterilize them in the micro. The dapple seems to work better than regular soap. Plus it's made from natural stuff. I bought it at babies r us.

I read that you're supposed to rinse them out with cold water before washing in warm water. Maybe try that? We use dawn and have never had a problem.

We use Mam bottles which I love because each piece comes apart and can be scrubbed, I just use regular soapy warm water and the film comes off fine. I wash after every use, obviously, then sanitize a few times a week.

Just know the "film itself" isn't harmful... that means your body is making baby some good, fatty milk!
With my last baby. .. I found a detergent geared specifically for breatmilk but can't remember what it was! Hubby prefers the dawn foaming soap... he says it works better...lol... at least on my pump parts
