We let Kaylas bottles & nipples soak in hot dish water with dawn and use the bottle brush on them, then we put them in the dish washer on sanitize
then put them on paper towels to dry.

Keep an eye on the bottle brush, so it doesn't grow anything. Originally, I had a bottle brush with a sponge on the end of it. Bleah!

As for Kate still drinking out of a bottle -- been there, done that, too. DS likes drinking out of straws, so I got plastic cups with lids, disposable straws and use those. I still do in the morning when he's sleepy and I give him his carnation instant breakfast in bed while he watches cartoons.

Our dishwasher is not working right now. <img src="">
So I have been handwashing Emma's bottles and nipples.
Then I let them air dry on a bottle drying rack.

I also boil them once a week.

Anyone have additional suggestions on what I should do?

We used the Playtex nurser bags so they got tossed after each feeding - no cleaning there! We washed the nipples in hot soapy water, then boiled them. We actually boiled tehm with the neb cups. We replaced teh nipples about every 3 weeks, because boiling tended to break them down faster. We air dryed them. (Still air dry all of Em's plates, sippy cups, etc...) We had LOTS of nipples, so having a clean and dry one for a feeding wasn't a problem.

The bags were a bit more expensive than bottles in the long run, I suppose, but we got them at discount stores so we probably spent about $12 a month for 18 months... But it sure was easy!!!
