Baby’s bottle can get very, very germy if you don’t clean it after every use. Think about it: Things like bacteria and mold love moisture, and both breast milk and formula spoil pretty fast. Expose your child to leftover liquid and you could be exposing them to illness, especially since their immune system isn’t fully developed. Fear not, though—a high-quality baby bottle brush will get rid of harmful residue. That’s why they’re must-haves on our checklist of what to buy for baby. Below, we’ve highlighted some of the best, so you can rest assured your child’s sips are nutritious, not noxious. Need more tips? Check out our guide to thoroughly cleaning baby’s bottle.

Dr. Brown’s Bottle Brush

There’s a reason Dr. Brown’s bottle brush is on tons and tons of baby registries: It really does the job. The sponge and bristle design provides double the cleaning power, plus it comes with convenient attachments. The easy-grip handle features a built-in nipple cleaner (because bottle nipples are notoriously hard to clean) and there’s a storage clip that works as either a vertical stand or a horizontal holder you can suction to the surface of your choice.
