Avent Bottles & Dishwashers

[FurryFox]

Have just got a dishwasher - am rather excited about it but can I put Avent bottles in it? And what about plastic weaning spoons and plates etc? I can't see anything on them to say either way Thanks

I put avent bottles into my dishwasher, rinsing them first. I washed them by hand until my kids were about one.

yes

top shelf only, for bottles and spoons etc

and if you have anything tomatoey, and don;t rinse the plates, the teats and locking rings of the bottles will go an orange tinged colour

and most plastic plates and spoons etc go in.

yep, but they don't come up very shiny in mine. I wash them by hand every so often to get them all new looking again.

Thanks

Do you then sterlise after the dishwasher?
I am planning to dishwash my bottles when the babbes arrive, but as we only use a normal cycle and not the hot 95degree one, I was going to sterlise afterwards.

American friend does not sterlise as her dishwasher does everything at 95 degree.

no need to sterilise after dishwashing, even at 65˚C, so long as you get any crusty milk off beforehand and air dry afterwards

seminal thread here

65ºC, that should have been

we just recently got dishwasher too.makes the bottles nice and shiny.i learnt to late about red sauce though
