wannabemommy - Good idea on the Palmolive baby soap! I've heard it doesn't sud up as much as the regular kind.
I use Dr. Brown and have a small cleaner that I don't actually like for the nipples; I use my finger mostly when I'm soaking them. Q tip is a great idea. I'll have to remember that!
We've resorted to q-tips...they seem to be working okay...
i agree with lil lady... my finger works best but i find it uncomfortable and a hassle lol... i have the TOMMEE TIPPEE bottle brush and it separates at the middle and the other half is a nipple cleaner, its plastic and has little vertical slits i press the nipple against it and it gets it all out.. but! I also rinse all bottles out right after each feeding and then wash them all throughly at night after shes in bed, so i rarely have any milk residue anyways... i have also found that using the palmolive baby soap works better, i buy it in walmart in the baby section by the diaper rash creams, i used to use regular dish soap and sterilize afterwards but noticed they were getting a yellowish tint.. this soap is clear and i can sterilize every other day rather than everyday, its spr gentle and took the tint away...
My finger haha Sorry, that's the honest truth.
Let the dog lick it clean.
Just kidding I have no idea I don't use bottles. Can you put them in the dishwasher? There are dishwasher baskets for them.
