I sometimes use the dishwasher and sometimes wash it by hand with hot water and soap...But I Have to be careful with the dishwasher because it sometimes sprays food into the bottles..lol

I put them in the dishwasher after every use and then once or twice a week I hand wash them with soapy water and then boil them.

I put them in the dishwasher daily.
I don't see the need to sterilize them as well because of how hot the dishwasher gets, plus the steam dry.

I don't have a dishwasher so I hand wash. I just bought some of those microwave bags and will sterilize about once a week.

i have some steam sterilization bags just for the nursing stuff - so I use that once a day or so. I can just throw it all in with some water for a minute and a half, and voila. Between times I rinse with hot water.

I wash everything with hot soapy water after each use (except at work- I just rinse) and then once a day I use the microwave sterilization bags. I usually boil everything once a week.

I also don't have a dishwasher so I rinse between uses during the day and then wash with hot soapy water every night. On Saturdays I use the microwave steam bag. I also have those wipes by medela that I use at work.
