Question about using the dishwasher

[peanut56]

Hey ladies,

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question....
Up until now, I have always hand washed Hana's bottles because I don't run the dishwasher everyday...and it's just become habit. I'm going to start throwing them in the dishwasher when I'm running a load anyway...do I still have to sterilize them after? Or can I just take them out of the dishwasher and use them?

As long as there is no food residue on any dishes then yes they are considered sterile. They say to boil or steam bottles for the first two weeks but after that the dishwasher is considered sterile enough. Just be sure to use normal wash settings. Don't use economy or anything less than hot water that's all.

In the Uk no, in America yes as long as you make them up with formula straight after they finish
