i have the same problem with charlie's bottles too, but after your last tip with the Pidgeons Bottle cleaner and they also have a really really good bottle brush, i don't seem to have to spend so much time cleaning the bottles now, another thing that i do is soak all the bottles and teats etc in the bath with some Milton and hot water for the day, i only do it once a week, but it seems to help keeping them really clean and easy to clean too,

thanks for your great tips keep them coming,

hugs and kisses

I had that problem to then as he got older and theres no longer the need to sterilise them we put them bk together and when i unscrewed the top it would re-appear arghhh it drove me mad not just on the bottle in the groves of the lid never thought of the tooth brush will have to remember that one for nxt time would have been handy that.

This should help a lot of mums! Toothbrush uses never cease to amaze me.  Thanks for sharing.
