More "cleaning" and getting ready questions...
So I have a couple of little containers, for cotton balls, q-tips, something to maybe keep the pacifiers in, etc. They are brand new and sealed, but should I put them in the dishwasher to "sterilize"? I don't want to be completely maniacal with cleaning stuff, but want to do it all right.
Also, what should I do with the pacifiers? Dishwasher? I have seen that commericial for Clorox and it says you can use like a little bleach with A LOT of water- and there is NO WAY I am using bleach on something I am putting in my mouth or my baby's mouth. But that's just me.

Re: More "cleaning" and getting ready questions...
However you are sterilizing your bottles you can do the same with your pacifiers. We live in the city so don't have a dishwasher, I plan on just boiling the bottle nipples (once I start giving him bottles) and will do the same with the pacifiers (if I use them). But I'm not into crazy sterilization. I'll do it once and then just handwash everything there on out.

Re: More "cleaning" and getting ready questions...
I am going to boil all the binkies and nipples and store it in a ziploc bag.
It's just me, but I don't think I would use Clorox to disinfect items that would go into the mouth. I would be too nervous that I did not rinse it off well....

I put them in the microwave sterilizer with the bottles for the first use and when he was sick. Then after that I just used hot water to wash them.

Re: More "cleaning" and getting ready questions...
I always boiled my pacifiers before use, and then ran them through the dishwasher going forth; as needed.
As far as the containers go... I would have never thought to sterilize them first....(and Im a germaphobe ) I always just wiped them down with a paper towel...
If they'll fit in the dishawasher and are dishwasher safe...then throw them in...
