But I actually do a lot of dishes by hand throughout the day and DS only uses 2 cups a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2335807 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:01:30 +0000 Mae 2335807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hand wash. It's sort of a habit left over from bottle days I guess? She only uses 2 cups per day though so it really isn't that big of a deal. We have a routine. One of us gives LO her bath, puts her down for bed, and washes her cups. The other puts all the toys away and feeds the animals. It just doesn't seem like a dishwasher would get the straws very clean, plus we don't run it every day, and just... meh. NBD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2335748 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:29:13 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2335748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hand wash because we don't put any plastic in the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2335667 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:36:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2335667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't run the dish washer everyday so it's hand wash or that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334695 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:55:42 +0000 Charm54 2334695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EP so I do a dishwasher load a day of bottles and pump parts...I throw LOs cups in with them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334693 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:53:08 +0000 yin 2334693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Everything is washed by hand when you don't own a dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334690 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:51:04 +0000 mrsrain 2334690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the dishwasher. But we also try to use one cup for water and one for milk each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334654 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:26:29 +0000 jape14 2334654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: same here. I have no patience for hand washing things that can easily go in the dishwasher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334635 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:13:48 +0000 regberadaisy 2334635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, but mainly by hand. If I happen to be running the dishwasher and there's room, then I throw them in there. I prefer to wash all the parts by hand though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334629 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:11:00 +0000 twodoghouse 2334629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dishwasher everything (even bottles when they were on them). We run the dishwasher every night and have plenty of cups to get through the day for both kids. I don't have the energy to hand wash things throughout the day!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334626 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:08:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2334626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the cup and if we have other clean ones. Mostly I put them in the dishwasher (but still have to wash the straw by hand). I'm also pretty good and just using two per day (one water, one milk). I'm guessing that will be harder to stay on top of with two though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334546 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:35:39 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2334546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash by hand but he only gets one a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334534 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:29:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2334534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 4 straw cups I wash by hand and run through sanitizer about every 2-3 days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-los-cups-by-hand#post-2334529 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:26:57 +0000 Bao 2334529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's amazing how many cups my girls go through a day despite my best efforts to only use one cup a day. I'll have a sink full by the end of the day! If I put them in the dishwasher I would have to run it twice as much, so I end up hand washing them all as I can. Do you wash your LO's cups by hand or use the dishwasher? </p>
