Sterilizers

kingshellie · May 2012

Any Suggestions for Sterilizers? I didn't actually have one for my first child, but I am thinking I might would like one for my second. The first time around I just boiled the nipples on the stove. I use the playtex drop ins so techinically I won't really have to sterilize the whole bottle but just the top components.

Give any input you have any??? I think it could make life easier especially since I won't run the dishwasher all the time.

Thank you

Does this baby have serious health issues that require sterilized bottles? Just plain soap and water (dishwasher or handwashing since you don't want to run the dishwasher a ton) is ample for healthy babies after you do the initial sterilizing to get off any gunk for manufacturing and shipping..A single-tasker like sterilizer seems like a pain to me. But, we have a small house, so a small kitchen and limited storage.

You can use Medela micro steam bags to sterilize bottles. I think one bag is good for 20 uses (you could fit a whole days worth of top components in one). I also think 5 bags come in a package, of I remember correctly.

Another vote for the microwaveable steam bags (Medela was what I had, but there are other brands.) I used them for pump parts, pacis, when I had just one bottle, etc. The rest of the time I ran things through the dishwasher, which also steam sterilizes them.
