Washing baby’s milk bottles in dishwasher
Does anyone else washes their baby’s bottles in dishwasher. I have looked up on google and it says its okay and safe but I still feel very guilty for not washing them with hands as I have lots of other work around the house too and if all bottles get dirty in a day than I put them all in dishwasher but only when its time to put dishwasher on which is every two days.
Moreover I feel like my child doesn’t drink milk as she used to. She is 4 months old she was drinking just fine before but from past few weeks I have been noticing she has not been drinking much recently and I was quite worried what could be the reason so I have also noticed this strange smell of dishwasher tablet left in the bottles even though I rinse them afterwards but still has this hint of smell. That could be the reason?? or may be cuz she just started teething?
Does anyone else has any experience of this?

I washed my babies’ bottles in the dishwasher and didn’t have any problems. You could try handwashing for a week or two to see if that makes her drink more.
I dont as they then smell of the detergent and my LG refuses to use them. Same with plastic/silicone cutlery, cups and plates.
I wash all her stuff in the sink.
Little ones can taste even tiny bit of detergent on their dishes.
I too was wondering why she suddenly stopped wanting to drink and eat out of them.
I use dishwasher without issue, but it can leave a residue. Running through sterilizer after can help remove residue. Try a hand washed bottle to see if she likes it more. If not, at this age some babies go through a phase where they get bored with eating which can be tough to troubleshoot
