ladies -
we'd been running everything through the dishwasher. We'll be going on vacation though, and should probably bring along a bottle brush. I thought this would be an easy purchase, but there are so many options its overwhelming.
any tips on what to get/ what not to get?
I think I bought the Munchkin brand at Target. Like someone else mention, no real difference.
The cheapest one you can find. Honestly, there really isn't going to be a difference between Wal-Mart's brand and Gerbers (if they make one). They all do the same thing!
I recently purchased two different kinds of munchkin bottle brushes. One has hard bristles all the way around , while the other has softer bristles plus a sponge on the tip. Both worked well. The hard bristled one seemed to clean better inside the bottle, but sometimes failed in cleaning the bottom of the bottle, where milk accumulated. The sponge on the softer brush worked very well in cleaning the milk at the bottom of the bottle, but unfortunately the bristles started falling out. Not sure if I happened to get one that was a defect? I threw that one away, and still use the more durable one. I use other methods to clean the bottom of the bottle :)
One of my fav ones is a cheap one I found at Baby Depot. They all do the same thing.
