Roll up your sleeves, break out the soap and get ready to wash some gear: Between the baby bottles and breast pump parts, there’s a lot that needs to get cleaned — and dried — when you have a newborn. If your bottles and accessories aren’t completely dry when they’re put away, it’s an invitation for bacteria and mold to grow.
Many parents wonder if they really need a drying rack that’s made for bottles when they already have one for their regular dishes, pots and pans — and while you could potentially make do without one, bottle drying racks are, beyond a doubt, helpful. They’re made to accommodate and hold bottles upside down, which helps them get completely dry, plus they won’t roll around on you.
It’s also useful to keep all the various bottle parts (bottle, ring and nipples) and pump parts together in one convenient spot. Some parents report that they continued to use their bottle drying racks well into the sippy cup years.
When it comes to cleaning and sterilizing the rack itself, many can be placed on the top rack of your dishwasher. If you don’t have one or your drying rack isn’t dishwasher safe, wash with warm soapy water and rinse well before drying.

Best Bottle Drying Rack Overall
Boon Grass Countertop Baby Bottle Drying Rack
This Boon drying rack is an excellent example of form meets function: It looks like a cheery patch of grass that sits on your kitchen counter. Those blades of “grass” are made of flexible plastic that’s designed to hold the bottles and accessories, pumping parts, pacifiers and more as they dry. The water will drain into the lower tray, and it’s strong enough to hold glass bottles.
Many parents say theirs come in handy long past the bottle years as a place to dry their wine glasses. Note: It’s BPA, phthalate and PVC-free, but not dishwasher safe.
Weight: 1 pounds
Dimensions: 9.45 x 9.45 x 2.56 inches
Best Minimalist Bottle Drying Rack
Philips Avent Drying Rack
This sleek-looking drying rack is a minimalist’s dream. Its tree-like design holds up to eight bottles with room for bottle accessories and allows for maximum airflow for fast-drying. It has a removable drip tray for quick cleaning and can also be popped into your dishwasher for a more thorough washdown. You can remove the “branches” to make space for larger items or for when it's ready to be stored.
Weight: 1.33 pounds
Dimensions: 12.99 x 8.07 x 2.68 inches
Best Spinning Bottle Drying Rack
Munchkin High Capacity Drying Rack
Short on space but big on bottles? This double-decker spinning rack holds up to 16 bottles with room for straws, pacifiers, pump parts and more. The innovative design even has an insert to dry the nipples thoroughly. You can customize the racks to your needs and if you have bulkier items than bottles, fold down the peg for additional space.
Graduated to sippy cups? The adjustable height allows you to raise the top tier to accommodate cups when your tot has outgrown bottles. The tray spins a full 360 degrees for easy access to all the items, and there's also a removable drip tray to make for easier cleaning.
Weight: 1 pound
Dimensions:12 x 12 x 3 inches
Best Upright Bottle Drying Rack
Dr. Brown's Universal Drying Rack
Though this hardworking rack is made to accommodate the standard wide-neck Dr. Brown bottles and accessories, it works well with any brand. The long posts are intended for bottles and sippy cups while the smaller ones hold rings, nipples and pacifiers. When it’s not in use, the entire thing is collapsible so you can readily store it under your sink. The BPA-free plastic drying rack is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Weight: 1.19 pounds
Dimensions: 14 x 12 x 3 inches
Best Hanging Bottle Drying Rack
OXO Tot Space Saving Bottle Drying Rack
A vertical bottle drying rack is a great option if space on your kitchen counter is limited. This rack sits on your counter, against the wall and underneath your cabinets. With room for up to nine bottles on the angled pegs, it has more than enough space to get at least two days worth of bottles dry at once. The removable liners at the top and base provide the space you need to dry nipples, pump parts, pacifiers and more. It’s dishwasher safe, which is exactly where you’ll want to put this in between uses.
Weight: 15.52 ounces
Dimensions: 14.75 x 4.25 x 10.5 inches
Best Small Bottle Drying Rack
Termichy Travel Baby Bottle Drying Rack
Made for travel, this slim baby bottle drying rack works well in small spaces. When closed, it’s about the size of a paperback book that will easily fit in a standard size diaper bag or under your kitchen counter. Some moms report bringing it to work to dry their pump parts after a pumping session.
When you need to use it, flip open the container, pop in the six trees to an upright position and assemble the brush cleaner (yep, it comes with one — and baby bottle soap, too.) It’s made of food grade BPA-free plastic.
Weight: 13.6 ounces
Dimensions (when open): 12 x 7.5 x 7.6 inches
Best Bottle Drying Rack for Multiples
Boon Lawn Countertop Drying Rack
Multiples means more feedings — and more dirty bottles. The Boon Grass Patch with Stem & Twig Accessories provides ample room for drying those bottles and all the accessories that go along with them. The Boon Lawn Drying Rack is similar to the Boon Grass drying rack, our pick for best overall drying rack, in that it has “blades” of PVC and BPA-free plastic that hold your baby bottles and all those parts upside down to dry them completely. The difference is that the lawn is larger and comes with a “tree” for an extra spot to dry nipples and pump parts.
Weight: 2.42 pounds
Dimensions: 13.5 x 11 x 2.5 inches
