A downside to the boiling method of sterilisation is that some items, such as teats, can become damaged over time and may need to be replaced. Also, some bottles and other feeding supplies may not be able to be submerged in boiling water for 10 minutes or more. You will have to verify that everything you want to sterilise can safely go in boiling water.
You can purchase an electric steam steriliser, such as the Philips Avent 3-in-1 Electric Steam. These products are designed to do all the work for you. Then, add the required amount of water and start the steriliser. Every product is different and there may be different guidelines regarding how to use it or set the controls. You should also place items in the steriliser so the opening is facing down. This will allow the steam to circulate and do its job. A final sterilising option you may see is cold water sterilisation.
This method involves creating a sterilising solution and soaking all of your bottles, teats, and feeding supplies in the solution for 30 minutes or more. Cold Water Sterilisers, such as the Milton Steriliser , have covers or plungers to make sure everything stays submerged in the solution. If you use a cold water steriliser, be sure to change the solution every 24 hours.
If you want to learn more about the different options for sterilising bottles, look at the sterilising section in the pregnancy and baby guide from the NHS. Ideally, bottles should be sterilised every time they are used. Rather, you can rinse bottles out after your baby has finished them. Babies are vulnerable to the germs that cause diarrhoea and vomiting.
These germs can develop very easily in the nooks and crannies of bottle and teats. Sterilising is the only way to ensure your baby's bottles are free from any harmful bacteria. It's also a good idea to sterilise the feeding scoop that comes with your baby's formula milk. You can wash and sterilise it alongside your baby's bottles.
