Do you wash yours in the dishwasher or by hand? I have done both and I get water spots on the bottles even after just putting jet dry in so it bugged me and I started doing them by hand. And they move sometimes in the washer leaving water sit in them. I use Dr Browns and I don't know if the dishwasher would work but handwashing is annoying too.

How do you wash your bottles?

[StarrMom]

Usually by hand. I notice other particles from the dishwasher seem to get stuck in the bottles if I do them in there.

dishwasher, I am lazy LOL

I usually hand wash ours and then sanitize them. The only reason we don't really use the dishwasher is because we only do a load (or MAYBE 2) a week and we don't have enough bottles to get us by for one full week.

I've been doing a little of both. We only had a few to start so I was having to wash them by hand but now that we've got more I use the dishwasher. I have the same issue with water staying in them but I just make sure I take then out shortly after the dishwasher is done. I also got a bottle brush so that makes washng them by hand a lot easier and it doesn't take long if I have to do that.

^^ wait till you have older kids, LOL! I do 1-2 loads A DAY!

I wash them in the dishwasher. They get a few water spots buts it no big deal.

Dishwasher...I hate doing dishes!

[BluvnU4evr]

By hand.

[who_it_is]

I do them by hand. I only have enough bottles for about 1 day, and we usually only run the dishwasher about once a day. Unfortunately the same time we run the dishwasher (last thing at night) is the exact same time we need fresh bottles. Plus I like to have them all set the night before for the sitter.

I do try to run them through the dishwasher about once a week, though. I always feel like I am not getting them totally clean when I wash them by hand.

Always by hand...I also only have enough to last me one full day sooo Im always washing those things lol

Dishwasher!!! For four reasons....
1. i'm lazy
2. i use dr. browns and there r too many parts
3. most of the time we use about 16 bottles a day (yes we have that many bottles thank goodness) sometimes more when they decide to eat an ounce every hour when they r awake (so annoying)
4. i'm lazy

I just figured out how to use my little munchkin dishwasher basket for the dr browns bottles so I'm going to try it to see if it works without throwing them all around LOL! I got more bottles yesterday so hopefully I can keep up then.

I hand wash mine. I fill up the sink with hot hot hot soapy water. Rinse the bottles then throw them in and let them sit til the water is cool enough for me to wash them. Then I wash and dry on my bottle drying rack.

We hand wash, I just find it easier. When we used with dishwasher it always left it discolored from any leftover food that was in there, it just grossed me out to wash it with the dishes.

I used to do both when Alie was going to daycare. I didn't need to run the dishwasher every day, so I'd wash them by hand those days. On the days I ran the dishwasher, I stuck them in there. I figured that way they were sanitized at least once a week (I have the Medela sanitizing bags, but those don't hold a whole lot of bottles). I always rinsed out the bottles after the dishwasher anyway because of the spots and if water collected in tipped over bottles. But rinsing vs. using the bottle brush and soap was a lot faster!

[jewelsgurl23]

we wash by hand because we don't have a dishwasher so we don't have a choice. and a bottle brush does work well. we use ours and its much quicker in washing them. i found a parent's choice bottle brush at walmart for i think $2 it was.

i definately recommend a bottle brush if washing by hand.

[RuPaul-O-Saurus]

I hand wash and use a bottle brush. I just started using the Dr. Browns bottles so we will see how long it takes me before I get annoyed with washing 100 different parts. Luckily the bottles come with a small brush to clean the little vent/straw thingy.
