We do but the dishwasher would be easier. There are just so many nooks and crannies in the pump parts I feel better hand washing them. It means that we have a lot of bottles and pump parts drying on our counter at all times!
What do you do?
-
I hand wash everything. :T I don't trust my dishwasher.
-
I hand wash everything too. I sent bottles through the dishwasher once and they came out stained orange!!! I'm sure they're clean, but I didn't like the look so I threw them out. No more dishwasher for me. Luckily we don't use bottles very often so it isn't a big deal.
-
I hand wash, too. And after dealing with a 2 month bout of thrush, I microwave sterilize everything once a day, just to be safe (or because I'm super neurotic).
-
I handwash daily, but once every couple of weeks I try to run everything through the dishwasher on the sanitize setting.
-
I hand wash everything. I sterilized everything in a cleaned dishwasher before first time use, though.
-
Hand wash then sterilize every time.
-
I hand washed pump parts but we used drop-ins so there wasn't much to clean for bottles.
-
We hand wash because it just seems easier than waiting to do a load in thE dishwasher. I only do 1 bottle per day though so at this point we dont have a whole lot.
-
I hand washed pump parts and bottles. Our dishwasher is crappy and the bottles often ended up tipped and full of water so it was just easier to hand wash.
-
I should add that after I hand wash with soapy water I run everything through our sterilizer. It only takes a few extra minutes and it gives me piece of mind.
-
I handwash after each use and sterilize all the pump parts once a
day. -
Handwash everything
-
handwash everything too, but I rarely pump... so it doesn't happen often.
-
I wash all bottles and pump parts by hand too.
-
I hand wash when I do pump, which is not often. At my breastfeeding class, I was told "baby needs clean, not sterile," so I don't bother with sterilization. Breast milk is antibacterial anyway. I think if I formula fed, I'd probably worry about sterilizing.
-
We have a fancy dishwasher with a sterilize setting. I use that for pump parts and LO's daily bottle. Occasionally I hand wash everything then sterilize.
-
I handwash, but I don't sterilize ever. Occasionally, I'll run the bottles through the dishwasher, but usually I don't b/c we don't run our dishwasher every day.
