   Does anyone put avent bottles/spouts etc in the dishwasher? Does it affect them at all?

   I haven't personally but friends have and they come out fine.  Would rinse them though afterwards.
 Best to ask the real experts on here though!

   I put the bottles in the dishwasher.  Didn't like to put the teats in though for some reason although my sister did.  They tend to go a bit cloudy looking but are fine :)

   i put it all in as I am lazy.  Teats go a bit cloudy and sometimes if there is something with tomato on they come out a bit orange.  Fay has never complained anyway.

   Yup, I did. I always gave them a good rinse in boiled water before using them, but that's just because I'm a bit anal.

   yes and have had the same bottles for three years now.  I buy new teats often, but they do go cloudy, so you just give them a rub on the inside with salt, then a scrub with a bottle brush, they come up clean as.
My 3 year old won't drink a bedtime milk out of a cup, I'm such a bad and gros smother, I know, but I don't care!

   That's funny, I put mine in the dishwasher and the teats don't go cloudy.
 The caps for the bottles did come out pink-looking, once, I never did work that out.

   I used the sterilizer for the first 4-5 months then I put them in the dishwasher. We regularly had orange bottles and teats from pasta sauce, but after a few washes it seems to fade. I miss my dishwasher, we don't have one in this house |
