Can you put baby bottles in the dishwasher?
Most dishwasher-safe baby bottles can go on the top rack, with nipples and small parts in a closed basket.

CycleHot wash or sanitize cycle if the bottle label allows
DryingAir dry completely on a clean rack
Why
Small parts need to stay contained, and some plastics or nipples are more heat-sensitive than the bottle body.
Caveats
- Follow the bottle maker’s sterilizing instructions for newborn, preemie, or medical needs.
- Inspect nipples for clouding, tackiness, cracks, or tears.
- Do not let small parts sit in pooled water.
