Can you bleach babies bottles? ...

found DDs 2 lost bottles, in a bag i'd left at my mums, returned today ... ewwww, been gone about 4 days, not pretty.

Don't think i'll be happy enough with soapy scrub and sterilising them.

Sterilising does the same job as bleach. They'll be grand.

Throw them out! I wouldn't use bleach on anything we were eating or drinking from - and certainly not something a baby uses.

I'd put it in the dishwasher (if you have one), then sterilise as normal, or throw it away. I definitely wouldn't use bleach

erm no. i wouldn't.
just clean and sterilise them.

I'd be much less happy with bleaching them than sterilising. I'd never believe I'd got the last of it out, no matter how much I scrubbed and sterilised. I would wake up in the night with visions of tiny little molecules of bleach making their way down dd's throat....

Wash them well and sterilise. Do it a few times if you must, but they'll be fine. It happened to me once, and they really were fine.

No, definitely not.

Sterilising will be enough.
