Sterilisers??

[kristi14]

In all honesty, if you only want a sterliser for dummies and teething items, i wouldnt worry about purchasing one, just hot soapy water, hot water rinse and leave to air dry and thye will be ok.

If you end up bottle feeding then i would get a steriliser. I use tommee tippee closer to nature because they are meant to be the best to combine breast and bottle feeding. I tried the microwave TTCTN steriliser and it was ok but i recently bought the electric TTCTN steriliser and love it. It takes the same amount of time to do a cycle at the microwave but its nowhere near as bulky, sterlises 6 bottles where the other does 4, and if you dont open the lid the bottles remain sterile for 24 hrs. So if you go with TTCTN at any point i recommend the electric steriliser. Buy it online though because i got mine for $60 less online than instore. Just google it and you will find some for good prices

I wouldnt recommend miltons because research has shown it can give babies mouth thrush, others might not agree with this but all 3 of my babies i used miltons with all got mouth thrush where as the others that i didnt use miltons with........no thrush.

With the build up in the steriliser the PP mentioned, yes this does happen (happens with microwave sterilisers too), but running a cycle through of vinegar and water removes this build up
