ptamil, when we were in Delhi in February, my MIL got me a bottle of bottle and nipple washing liquid. It's called Stony Angel bottle and nipple cleaner (it's imported from Thailand). She got it from INA market - shop's called Gogia's. It's on the main road, right opposite of Dilli Haat. Do you know where I am talking about?

This is what I used to do to clean bottles for my first son.I wash the bottles with normal dishwashing liquid using bottle brush.Then I rinse it with water 2-3 times.Then I put it in boiling water for a few minutes and sterilise it.This was an everyday process.

I do the same thing as sunitha wrote. also i prefer the palmolive soap liquid... if you don';t get that, try using the liquid which does not too much of fragrance of any kind( for example lime)

Hi,
I never used dish washing liquids for cleaning bottles. I washed 4 or 5 times with
hot water and cleaned with bottle cleaning brush, that`s all. But one thing, as soon
as the baby finished drinking I washed the bottles immediately.

Thumbs down Re: Whic soap or liquid to clean feeding bottles?

Hi,

As many of you suggested, it is alright to add a drop of the dish liquid with warm water for cleaning the bottles. We just need to make sure that there are no soap suds left by brushing & rinsing well many times.

Also after cleaning, it is best to sterilize the bottles in hot water.

A drop of any soap liquid enables thorough cleaning before sterilizing.

Cheers

Hi Pavithra,

I use normal liquid cleaner that I use for other vessels for bottles too. Nipples I clean with brush and bottles most of the time I put in dishwasher (after thoroughly washing off any milk residue before loading it in the machine). While in India also I use normal liquid. I don't think you need to use any special cleaning agent for this. Only thing is to make sure the bottle is washed thoroughly off any soap and sterilise it after washing. Latha
