1) Baby bottles should be designated for meat, dairy or parve use.
Separate bottle brushes and other bottle cleaning items should also be used for cleaning bottles of each food class.
This is especially important if hot water is used to clean the bottles and/or hot liquids are placed in the bottles.
The same applies to "sippy cups" used by toddlers.
2)
Baby bottles and sippy cups that are used during the year should not be
used on Pesach, and new fresh bottles should be bought.

Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we
covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the
Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although
the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei
HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes
only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
Is there any circumstance where a mechitza can be less than 5 feet?
Answer:
According to Rav Moshe Feinstein,
and most others, a Mechitza that is less than 3 Amos high (approx. 6
feet) is not a kosher Mechitza, and thus is as if there isnt a Mechitza
at all. Therefore, in a place that requires a Mechitza (a designated Shul or place of prayer) there are no cases where a mechitza less than the required height will suffice.
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות - one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
