Stupid sterilizer question

baileyrayvalentine

I'm looking into a bottle sterilizer - first off, anyone have any recommendations?  And second, will any brand work or do I need one that is compatible with the kind of bottles I plan on using?  And if I'm pumping, do I need to sterilize the pump also?

We used steam bags made by munchkin. You get like 10 uses out of one bag and it is super easy. Just pour some water in the bag put in your bottles/paci's/ pump equipment and microwave. Cheap, effective and easy.

I have one by the Munchkin brand, you just pop it in the microwave and let it go for 2 minutes and then its done! You can also put breast pump equipment in it as well.

Stupid question - this works on plastic bottles too, right?

I used the sterlizing bags as well (I think the ones I had may have been Medela, but it's the same thing)--for both bottle and pump parts; and yes it can be used on plastic bottles.

I used the Medela steam bags for the pump parts and if there was only one bottle or a few pacis that needed to be cleaned, but we had the Avent sterilizer and we just ran it at night after washing the bottles.  That way we could get more sterilized at one time.

We have the Avent microwavable sterelizer and love it. And we just make everything we need fit as we did not end up using the Avent bottles. We even sterilized the sippys in there too!
