• Fill sink with hot water and add dishwashing liquid.
• Add bottles, nipples, caps, rings, preparation utensils and other supplies.
• Pour hot, soapy water into bottles, and rotate a baby bottle brush inside until the bottle is clean. Wash away all soapy water under running water.
• Use a nipple brush to wash nipples and nipple holes. Squeeze the hot, soapy water through the nipple hole to flush out any trapped milk.
• Thoroughly rinse all utensils under running water to wash away all traces of soapy water.
• Use sanitized tongs to remove bottles, nipples and other utensils and place them in the dish drainer to dry.
Even if you use disposable plastic bottle liners and ready-to-use formula, you still need to make sure the bottles and nipples are clean. Additionally, washing and drying in a dishwasher is safe, but only with heated water and a hot drying cycle. First check the manufacturer label to make sure items are dish washer safe.
