Bottle Sterilizer

FitSoccerGrl

I can't decide on a bottle sterilizer and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions?? I do know that I do not want one that goes in a microwave. I think having a unit that's an "all-in-one" would be better. TIA!!

Dishwasher or a pot of boiling water. I asked the pedi before I left the hospital how often I needed to sterilize the bottles and pacis he said just before te first time you use them. So I went home and had dh use a pot of booing water and never did them again. Warm water and soap gets them clean.

Yeah, we won't be using a sterilizer.  Thorough washing will be fine.

Boil them at first, then wash in hot soapy water after that.  Sterilizers make my list of registry "wastes", though the Medela steam sterilizer bags can be useful for small pump parts.

Was gonna say if you pump then you probably sterilize. I use the muchkin microwave steamer for pump parts first time use on feeding item and ocassional sterilization.

Agreed w/ PP - you do not need to sterilize bottle parts after the first time.  We used a pot of boiling water.
