Did I just think of a genius baby hack? Scared to try it

| We finally found a swaddle that LO sleeps well in but I refuse to buy multiples of it since LO will soon need to transition out of swaddling and we’ve spent enough money. So when LO spits up or poops on it, I hand wash it and lay it out to dry but this takes long. I have a baby brezza bottle sterilizer that has a button for dry only. Is it wishful thinking that I could place this single cotton swaddle in the baby brezza and dry it? It would be so much better than using our giant dryer or waiting hours for air dry. |

I mean, if it works it works but this seems like crazy. Just buy a second swaddle. You own a baby brezza product so I assume are not struggling too much financially. Go to a consignment store and you can get some backups for like $5-$10 bucks.
You can get sleep sacks that swaddle in the chest area and can transition to the next phase of sleep. |

| Umm I would buy you a second swaddle if you are that desperate for one. |

| Do. Not. Put something contaminated with human fecal matter in the same apparatus you put bottles for your child. Pleas envision yourself explaining how your infant has contracted E. Coli to a medical professional...because you don’t want to spend $30??? |

Yeah is this some $50 swaddle? Our favorites were those Velcro swaddles that you could get in a pack of three for like $30.
I would be concerned that it would mess up the Brezza, which I’m guessing cost a heck of a lot more than your one swaddle. |

Why are you, an old person, hanging out on the expectant mother board? |

| Um, what? You want to put something with poop or vomit into the same thing that prepares your kids bottles?? Buy a second one and then sell them when you’re done to get some money back. Throw it in with whatever laundry could be done that day - small load of towels, your clothes, whatever. But I wouldn’t hand wash and try to use the bottle making machine. |

| Why don’t you just put it in the clothes dryer, which is an apparatus designed to dry clothing? Why use your bottle sterilizer? |

+1 - an older millennial who is more gen x in spirit but who would never add to the steady drumbeat of whiners on all sides disparaging us |

| Oh good lord just buy a second swaddle. Most of infancy and toddlerhood is spending money on stuff the kid uses for a few weeks at best. Kids are just a money suck. |
