[blparent] bottle woes.

Mon Jan 19 21:49:20 UTC 2009

I had the cutest little basket that you could put nipples or other small 
baby needs in.  It fit right on the top shelf of the dishwasher.  Since Gab 
didn't use a bottle, i can't remember what we put in that basket, but I know 
we used it.  I think we put the tops of sippy cups. V

>> You have newborn which goes from 0-3 months, medium which goes from 3 to

>> Pour over the sink.
>> I always wash and dry bottles in the dishwasher, drying with the heat
>> on. It's a dishwasher setting.
>> I've also hand washed and dried bottles when our dishwasher broke.
>> I never boiled them, I was told the dishwasher would be fine, and when I
>> couldn't use ours, it didn't occurr to me to boil them
>> I also think babies are more robust then we realize. Look at what they

>> Best advice I have is to go to a store, ask to get your hands on bottles
>> and go from there.
>> Aside from that, love and enjoy your baby. The rest will sort itself
>> out.
