I might consider getting enough to last at least a couple of days, i also have an extra set of pump parts so its worth it having an extra set of bottles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-drying-rack-for-3-kids#post-2846113 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 13:27:00 +0000 jennlin821 2846113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Yes, DH and I decided that it was worth getting enough bottles to last the week (4 each day at daycare + 5 for home) I think we had 20 total? Daycare rinsed them out, I would toss them in a dish bucket till the weekend. Then I filled the bucket with soapy water and washed/rinsed by hand. I'd then lay them out to dry on the two boon racks and on a drying mat. (I usually washed Saturday night, they would air dry overnight) Sunday I would assemble them, and put them into 5 gallon ziploc bags, so that I could just grab the bag I needed for that day. (Daycare preferred to heat up the breastmilk in the bags, so the bottles didn't need to be refrigerated.)</p> <p>We cloth diaper, so there was only so much after-work/after-daycare cleaning I could handle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-drying-rack-for-3-kids#post-2846111 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 13:15:28 +0000 Mrsbells 2846111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JJ2626: yes we use the dishwasher for our plates etc but don't want to put any baby bottles, breast pump parts or water bottles in there.</p> <p>Update: I decided to just get another spinning rack since it holds the most items and also add a twig accessory to my boon grass</p> <p>[attach=1326/18/pf9k1s.567x600.Screenshot_20180918-131347.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1326/18/pf9k1t.577x525.Screenshot_20180918-131419.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-drying-rack-for-3-kids#post-2846100 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 12:40:38 +0000 JJ2626 2846100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a dishwasher? We just wash bottles in there and don’t need such a big drying rack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-drying-rack-for-3-kids#post-2846095 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 12:08:08 +0000 Mrsbells 2846095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennlin821: good point. Our counterspace is long but the sink is not centered so there's more space on one side than the other. I didnt realize the boon rack had a job square option. I'm looking that up now.<br /> Wow washing bottles once a week sounds heavenly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-drying-rack-for-3-kids#post-2846038 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 08:37:28 +0000 jennlin821 2846038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this depends on the layout of your counters? I had two boon grass racks. One was long and one was square. We washed bottles only 1x per week, so these could fit about 18 bottles? I did have to use a drying mat also. I loved the boon grass mats because I could spread things out or stuff them together/on top of each other as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-drying-rack-for-3-kids#post-2846028 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 08:24:54 +0000 Mrsbells 2846028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have 2 racks; the small grass rack by boon and a spinning rack. Even though my LOs are 2 and 6, we still use them heavily because we handwash all their bottles and cups. with baby number 3 on the way we definitely need more drying space for bottles and breast pump parts. I can get an extra spinning rack or maybe the dr browns rack in addition to the 2 we already have but I'm wondering if there is a high capacity rack so I won't need 3 separate racks on my counter. I have thought about replacing my small boon grass mat for a bigger one. Any other ideas? </p>
