How to Wash Baby Bottles Part 1

Essential Dad and Parent Skills 2-8a: How to Wash Baby Bottles Part 1

I can almost hear the groans now. Bottle washing? Really?

You betcha. It is easy, fast and really not a big deal. It's true that mom handles this most of the time after the first few weeks, but it's also true that raising baby isn't just her job.

Besides, if you want to see a mom smile, let her stumble into the kitchen in the morning after you've left for work and let her find all the bottles washed (and sterilized) and a big I LOVE YOU note stuck on the fridge.

True, you won't be able to actually SEE the smile at that point. But I'm sure she'll let you know somehow.

C'mon... you know you already want to try it. (Part 1 of 2)

why so many bottles, you dont believe in handmedowns?

[cluelessfather]

@BreakfastBentoBox To get handmedowns, you have to have people to get handmedowns from. Which we didn't. And this amount allowed the baby to make it through the day on regular feedings for two days without the milk spoiling due to repeated use and made sure that there was still a supply for use so that I could wash the dirty ones when I got home from work and mom could focus on other things. Best, Dare

@cluelessfather breast milk was good for the baby jesus, i am sure it is good for yours. i wish you all the best, be safe.

[cluelessfather]

@BreakfastBentoBox Totally agree! Thank you! I believe breast milk is the best supplement for any baby! We were very happy that my wife was able to breastfeed our second daughter as there was a lot less colic and so far she has generally been a much calmer baby! Have a great day! Best, Dare

wow thats a lot of bottles

[cluelessfather]

@iheartreborns1 Hahaha. Yeah and my second daughter was born two days ago so now there are even more! Best, Dare

[cluelessfather]

Yes it is tedious especially with multiple children which is why it's best done to your favorite music blasting while you karoake away using the bottles as your microphone! (Don't tell anyone I said that.) :)
