Is Dr. Brown's Bottles dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Dr. Brown's bottles are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for the vent system and narrow parts.
Why
The bottles are made of polypropylene (PP) or glass, both of which are dishwasher safe on the top rack. However, the internal vent system and small parts like the nipple and collar may not be fully cleaned or could be damaged by high heat, so many manufacturers recommend hand washing those components.
How to wash it
Place bottles, nipples, and collars on the top rack of the dishwasher. For thorough cleaning, hand wash the vent system with warm soapy water and a bottle brush.
