Question for pumpers and bottle feeders

[hotlama]

How do you was your bottles?

I've been washing everything in super hot, soapy water by hand every day. (Well, almost everyday) I just put the regular bottles that my ebm go into in the dishwasher. They look and smell clean but I'm not too sure if they are clean enough for dd.

We used the dishwasher. I bought a basket that held nipples and rings to keep it all above the bottom.

I hand wash everything once a day. Soap and water will make it as clean as necessary. It doesn't need to be sterile.

If you put bottles in the dishwasher, make sure they're BPA free.

I always hand wash. I figure thats how I wash my dishes and they are clean.

I do the same as you - hand wash in hot soapy water. Occasionally I will put them in the dishwasher, but not very often.

When I pumped I put all my pump stuff and the day's bottles in the dishwasher over night. I had several sets of everything, though.

I handwashed when we moved to a house with no dishwasher.

They were always clean.

I handwash in hot soapy water as well. This washing of bottles/freezing expressed breast milk is like a second job that I do every day. I don't love it but I don't hate it either:)

The hot soapy water works fine for everything that needs to be washed.

We hand wash everything in hot soapy water with a bottle brush every day, actually probable twice a day. If I have a sink full of bottles and I'm going to be running the dishwasher then I just toss them in there I have one of those baskets for the nipples and rings.
