Do you re-use the plastic sipper bottles you get from cafe's for kids? Those fruity flavorits ones?
If so, do you put them through your dishwasher or wash by hand? We have a few, and I don't keep them longer than a few washes (as we get too many  ) but hubby suggested that maybe it wasn't safe to dishwasher them?------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I'd dishwasher them and then rinse with cold water before filling. They say it's not good to keep them too long because all the washes (by hand or d/w) breaks the plastic down over time. Just keep updating your stock as you're doing and I wouldn't worry too much... but then I'm a pretty laid-back parent  -------------  |

I put them through the dishwasher & by hand. Havent had any trouble yet, but have done this on a huge rotation (always losing them and having to replace) I think i've had a particular bottle for a few months and its ok. ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |

Nope I chuck them right out. Due to the plastic thing. She has enough cups and bottles already. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| i wash by hand but only cause we don't have a dishwasher. i find that "children's law" means they don't hang around too loing anyway *("children's law" means that anything will eventually be lost) |
