No i have always washed them in the sink separately x

I switched from MaM to tesco around 7 months because my LG was not colicky at all and less bits. But I did dishwasher them in top drawer and then sterilise them. If I still used them now I'd just dishwasher them as we on cows milk x

@Amy I’ve been doing this but wondering for ease if I could just pop them in as otherwise I’m Trying to wash a bottle in the morning along with a water bottle and then another in the evening with another water bottle. I know it doesn’t take long but with a toddler hanging off my legs, It’s getting quite difficult to keep on top of along with many other things to clean 🤦🏻‍♀️😂!

I changed to the mam easy active bottle last week as he doesn’t need anti colic anymore and i was sick of washing all the parts😂

@Amy are those any good as I wanted to do this but heard from a few people they were rubbish bottles and the babies didn’t get on well with them! I want to try as I’m guessing it’s much easier! X

I have one mam easy active (bought from the nearest gaff when I forgot to pack a bottle!) and 4 tesco wide neck, they all fit the mam teats and my twins use either or quite happily. Only thing with the dishwasher is potentially for staining if you've got like spaghetti bol pan in there and the numbers tend to fade a little quicker x

I think they are absolutely fine and a pleasure to wash compared to the anti colic ones 😂 only thing as the air doesn’t escape on its own the baby will need to stop sucking for a moment to let the air out otherwise the teat kind of collapses in itself it that makes any sense ? we haven’t had that issue yet though xx

@Amy I heard about the teat collapsing! I think that was one of the reasons people didn’t like them. Does baby just learn to do this by themself? Tbf I think my little one does this even with the anti colic bottles. She is constantly on and off the teat - probs teething tbf 😂😂😂

@Mou do you find the teat collapsing thing happens with the mam easy active bottle for you too when using it or has it been ok? Yes fully aware of the staining in dishwasher! I mean not the worst thing I guess 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Yeah my baby is on and off his bottle too ! So you shouldn’t have any problems with it, i put the milk in then put in the microwave without the lid and it’s totally fine xx

@Amy oh yes I was going to say can they be microwaved too 😂😂

Also yes babies learn fast especially when there is food/milk involved 🤣🤣

No collapsing teat over here either :)

My dishwasher isn’t the best so I prefer to hand wash

I’ve been putting all parts of the bottles in the dishwasher since the beginning!

@Nicole do you put them all on top rack, including the teat and white rubber bit? Also does it matter what settings or how long the wash is x

I hand wash but only because they discolour in the dishwasher and go orange 😂 xx

I put them in the dishwasher and they’re fine. Just don’t put them in with anything that’s particularly bright in colour - we put ours with in with spag bol pan once and they came out with an orange tinge 🤣 it went after a couple of washes but still not ideal!

I put the teat, rubber bit and plastic neck part all on the cutlery tray at the top then the bottles and cap on the tray below. I just put it on the quick 1 hour cycle which is around 65 degrees. I would sterilise on top of doing this but stopped at 11 months 😊
