I have many types of baby nipples and on almost all of them milk keeps getting stuck on the bottom of the nipple,or in some of them inside of the nipple.I have tried soaking them in hot water and soap and scrubbing them with the bottle brush and it wont come off.even putting them in boiling water.does anyone know what i can do to them to get them good and clean?

flip them and clean them and turn it back or keep it like that?

I flip mine inside out and that seems to do the trick.

Boiling them in white vinegar water works wonders

If your fingers aren't too big you can just put a little soap on your finger and rib the nipple to clean it inside and out. I've done this with all the bottles we used and never had issues getting it clean.

Have you tried to turn them inside out? What kind of bottle brush are you using? That makes a big difference. I never had much luck with the really cheap ones. I always like Munchkin or one of the little bit more pricey ones. They seem to do a better job.=)

If you have a dish washer put them in there or just buy new nipples and soak them as soon as your baby is done with the bottle. That's what I do and it works perfectly
