how to keep the bottles clean

[Bebe boo]

I still live at home and likely will for the next few years. A few years ago I was still financially dependent on my parents, told them I think I'm a little, explained what that is and why I think so. They don't believe that I am, and that being into things that are young for my age doesn't indicate such. I wasn't neglected and am autistic, so they've put it down to that.

 

I do own lots of 'childish' things that they have bought me. But what they have been willing to pay for has had a limit. I asked for a baby bottle years ago and was denied it as it was a ridiculous request to them. Surprisingly I asked for dummies and was permitted to use them privately, but it was very questionable to them and they put it down to my oral fixation. my dummies went moldy (advice on how to stop this will be appreciated) and I haven't asked for replacements since

 

i want to buy a bottle and a bottle warmer machine to use privately in my room but then there is the question of how I will clean these and dry them. I don't want confrontation and judgemental comments about it and how I choose to spend money as I've been bought loads of things over the years and should be greatful and not want more

Bebe boo, thank you for reaching out. 

 

Since your question simply seems how to keep your bottle clean, here's what you want to consider: 
Buy your bottle with a brush, get a small dishwashing soap bottle, keep them all in a bag (that looks like shower accessories bag), take that bag with you when go for shower and bring it back after washing them before or after the shower. 

 

Hope it help, good luck.

Hot water, dish soap and a bottle brush are the best way to clean baby bottles. I like to use paper towels and dry them really well and then store them with a crumpled dry paper towel inside so it doesn’t have or accumulate any moisture (that will lead to mold!).

 

You can get bottle cleaning brushes from a dollar store and they can be used to clean any type of long cup, so personally I don’t see it as anything suspicious. In fact, I think it is better cleanliness than washing cups with a sponge, especially if I can’t fit my hand inside to the bottom. You can explain that and maybe even offer to do the dishes . It is important to be mold/germ free to avoid sickness more than ever.

 

For pacifiers, I wash them in warm water and soap as soon as I can after using it, then clean it with rubbing alcohol and I’ve never had an issue with mold. It’s best to store them in something like Tupperware versus in a bag.
