They are in a less used area of the counter and don't get washed after meals are prepared so they aren't in the meal prep area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-649223 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 09:09:51 +0000 LulaBee 649223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drying rack until they are dried, then into the cabinets for bottles and into my pump back for the pump parts. But we don't cook meat at our house, so maybe I have less to worry about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-649210 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 09:07:26 +0000 MsLipGloss 649210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: FWIW, after my pump parts have competely dried, I assemble them and put them in a ziploc container with a lid. :) I don't worry about the bottles/nipples, because they get used the very next day, i.e., prepped and put in fridge for nanny.</p> <p>ETA: I move the drying rack into the breakfast area (to keep it away from any food prep) overnight/during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647892 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:03:30 +0000 mrskc 647892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just leave it on the drying rack. But I think that's a good idea about putting it in a container on the counter with a lid. I was a little more careful with that stuff when he was a newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647885 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:00:23 +0000 shopaholic 647885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, so I was just being a worrywart FTM! Drying rack is okay then! I still might be a little paranoid and get a larger plastic bin w/cover to keep the clean, less-used stuff intact from germs.<br /> * At least right now with all the grandmas cooking, there's a lot of activity in the kitchen. Yesterday there was just meat de-frosting in the sink and I was so paranoid about any of the parts touching the sink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647876 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:54:49 +0000 cascademom 647876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drying rack. At work, I wash them and put them in a nylon baby Baggu bag hanging in my mother's room locker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647868 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:51:19 +0000 MsLipGloss 647868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, drying rack FTW! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647719 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 09:29:44 +0000 travelgirl1 647719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a drying rack so I end up taking the stuff out of the microwave steriliser and either letting it dry on kitchen roll on the kitchen surface or drying it with kitchen roll myself. Pump parts then go in the fridge and bottles/soothers go in a plastic container on the side. So many times I've been too lazy to dry and ended up having to re-sterilise. I was WAY more organised in the early days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647582 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 07:49:33 +0000 Weagle 647582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it all stays on the drying rack :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647549 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 04:09:29 +0000 MamaMoose 647549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I leave everything on the drying rack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647530 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 02:12:53 +0000 banana 647530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave everything on my boon drying rack too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647510 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 00:45:01 +0000 sunny 647510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup we just leave on a separate dry rack. We wash everything in a separate basin and with a separate sponge though, since I figure our sink gets raw meat, etc. on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647508 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 00:34:50 +0000 autumnlove 647508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I left them in a drying rack! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storing-cleaned-pump-parts-amp-bottles#post-647505 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 00:27:36 +0000 shopaholic 647505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I have a TT steam sterilizer and a Boon Lawn drying rack on the counter for pump parts and bottles. The sterilizer keeps everything wet, but I kind of worry about just leaving the freshly sterilized pieces exposed if I just leave them to dry on the Lawn rack? Am I being an overly-worried FTM? We don't have much cabinet space to designate for baby stuff yet (since there's not so much). I have some of the less used stuff that's clean in a plastic box now.<br /> What do you do after you wash, clean, or sterilize? Do you just leave it out on a drying rack? </p>
