if its a cheap bottle, toss it. if its one of those tha cost a little more, sterilize it. dont forget, toilet water is clean, assuming the toilet was clean. Mad

if it's your first baby - toss it ...

second baby - sterilize it ...

third baby - wipe it off ...

fourth baby - just shtup it right back in it's mouth ...

LOL! If it's a more expensive bottle like Avent, I would just put it in a pot and let it boil in water for a few minutes. I've had pacifiers fall into the toilet and did the same.

okay we were once by a petting zoo and a baby goat took my baby's paci ... we certainly didn't throw it out cause the rest of the day would have been traumatic ...

haha...this reminds me of my mil's story of one her OB visits while pregnant with her 3rd. He asked how she planned to feed the baby.

She said, 1st was nursed, 2nd bottle-fed, and the 3rd was just going to hold her own bottle.

I once had a new cleaning lady who started washing my floors with toilet water. When I told her we have a bucket for that purpose, she said yes, but the toilet water is clean and she just used clorox on the toilet bowl.
Note: I rewashed my floor after she left and never had her come again.

Mommeeeeeeee!

I once had a cleaning lady who wouldn't do my floors at all...just did the rest of the house and then decided she had to leave...

and that reminds me of what my husband's rabbi once told us jokingly.

with the first, you run for every cry.
with the second, you hide.
with the third, you tell the first and second what to do.

And my cleaning lady, when was told to hose off the duck poop in the front lawn, scrubbed it right off with her shoes, and then walked right into the house, where I nicely escorted her back to Poland.....

Throw it out. Would your husband drink from a cup that fell into the toilet?

first thought that comes to mind is dump it. but if the toilet was clean - maybe sterilize? my retainers once got buried in a not so clean garbage can... it was already dumped, LOL

but was too expensive to just leave there... even though I was grossed out, I cleaned it to the best of my ability and... continued using it.
