I love this baby bottle tray and bottle brush for cleaning, drying, and storing my baby bottles, by Munchkin. We have a dishwasher, but I like to clean my bottles by hand too.
Cleaning:
- The bottle brush is fabulous, coming complete with a nipple brush built in. This tray is also great as it folds down to fit in the dishwasher to be cleaned itself once in a while.
Covering:
- Here’s a great Baby Bottle Cozy from All Buttoned Up to make, giving bottles some style from their hum-drum look.
UPDATE: I realized I needed a picture of a baby drinking a bottle!! Here’s my little one, 8 months old! Isn’t she adorable with her big blue eyes?

That’s my favorite bottle brush too. In fact, I kept mine and I’ve still been using it for glasses the dishwasher didn’t get clean, even though we’ve been done with bottles for almost two years now.
same here with that munchkin bottle brush!! Its great for coffee mugs too! And that drying rack looks like it would be good for drying zip lock bags too (for people like me who re-use EVERYTHING!)
I had a brush like that, too, but I didn’t know how to sterilize it after a day or so of use – the sponge got oogy. What is your trick?
Ooo with two new grandbabies on the way, I’m definitely interested in the Bottle Cozy! Guess I’ll have to be thinking of things like that to make for them too! Seems like forever ago I even had to think about things like bottles—let alone bottle cozies! ~Shelly~
Gosh, you sure do have beautiful children.
We loved that bottle rack too. I was a little sorry to toss it out, but our hard water finally did it in-but that was long after we’d been off the bottles. The cheaper versions don’t work as well and the racks start flopping over after a couple weeks.
I still buy the Munchkin bottle brushes to clean out our square glass pitcher. Something about the placement of the sponge/bristle ratio that does the swish/scrub thing so well. Kind of scary how well those things are engineered.
hey it was great meeting you tonight! cute blog!
As far as cleaning it–I pour a little bleach on my brush when I’m bleaching my kitchen sink (I then rinse the sink and the brush after scrubbing down the sink). I love the Munchkin bottle brush. We use it for cleaning our canning jars and for sippy cups, too.
I love the Munchkin bottle drying rack. Although I do have to say that I’m glad I just got out of that stage and I don’t have to use it any more and have it out on the counter taking up precious space!
I love the idea of using this brush to clean out mugs and pitchers.
Clare – great idea to dry your plastic bags on the rack!
Heather – I put my brush in the dishwasher ever other time or so. I’m sure I’m going to have to buy a second one soon.
Hey at least your baby will drink out of a bottle. Mine still just wants me, which I don’t mind, but sometimes you just want to be able to have them do it themselves. Of course when I get my three year old weaned all she wanted was her bottle, until she turned three and we said no more bottles (and I cried when she went to bed with out one- my baby was growing up). Now with the 11 month old we may have to go straight to sippy cups, since the little miss won’t do anything but chew on her bottle. :) But I don’t miss having to wash them, that’s for sure! Happy Valentine’s Day.
