A member asked:
Can bacteria grow inside the filter of a baby's bottle if not was with soap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is important to thoroughly clean all parts of your baby's bottle. Use dish detergent and rinse thoroughly by hand- an automated dishwasher is another way to clean the bottle parts. Make sure you take the bottle completely apart before cleaning. Also throw out bottle contents if more than a hour old.
