Pros: You know your bottles are completely sterilized Cons: A lot of moisture comes out of the microwave
When we first had or son, Colin, we were told to make sure we sterilized all his bottles, nipples, covers, and rings. We then had a dishwasher, but still boiled the bottles after they went through the dishwasher cycle, just to be sure. After Colin was a ...
Pros: Compact, cleans and sterilizes thoroughly Cons: Avent bottles work best. Handle with care - steam can scald!
"Why do I need a sterilizer? I'm going to breast feed this baby - NO bottles, NO sterilizing for me!" I stated loud and clear to my husband, in that "temple" of baby products - Babies R Us.
Pros: Fast, easy to use, inexpensive, you know your baby's bottles are clean! Cons: Uses steam- bottles come out wet and hot!
This is the one baby product that I have used more than most all other products combined; and still use to this day. Sterilization is not supposed to be necessary if you wash the bottles with a dishwasher, however, if you want or need a sterilizer, the...
Pros: Quick and easy to use Cons: Gets incredibly hot and is not suitable for everything.
Despite mainly breastfeeding my daughter I decided to express milk so that her father could enjoy feeding her too. I was actually given this steriliser by a friend and previously I had intended to get an ordinary steriliser, thank goodness I didn't.
...
Pros: Cheap. Protects your bottles from stupid moms and dads. Cons: Gets incredibly hot. Seems expensive for what you get. Uses big wattage.
My wife and I are new parents, 8 days as of this writing. As any new parent knows, the child birth courses, Lamaze training, and two days in the hospital are not nearly enough to prepare you for what lies ahead. Dozens of helpful nurses and doctors...
Pros: Fast, Easy to use Cons: A dishwasher would work just as well
When my daughter, Katie, was born I had to learn some new mothering skills. Although she was my third child, my other two had never used a bottle. However, this time around, I had a full time job and bottles became a part of our daily life.
Pros: Simple to use. Easier than boiling. Cons: WAY overpriced.
I got my Avent sterilizer shortly after my son was born. Frankly, there's not much to it. It consists of a plastic base and lid, much like a plastic container you would put a cake in to keep fresh. Included is an insert that at first seems to be...
Pros: Convenient, convenient, convenient! Cons: Bulky to store.
Because our well water is not put through a purification system, sterilizing bottles, nipples, etc., is a must. When he first started on bottles, I boiled pans of water for sterilizing. It was slow, inconvenient, and required careful attention.
...
Pros: Easy to use, convenient, fast! Cons: None, really--just a little tricky to load once in a while
I had my first child in December, after a somewhat difficult pregnancy. She was born a month early, and I was physically and emotionally drained. I felt as though I would never be able to keep up with the "every-two-hour" feedings....
Pros: Easy to use & does a good job Cons: No good if there's no microwave around
When we first made the decision to start using bottles, my mother-in-law gave us the same pot she'd boiled all her babies bottles in. We thanked her for the gift and we boiled the bottles. At first, it was ok, but after a few burns, and a couple of...
Pros: Quick and Easy. A sleepy mom can figure this out at 6:00am. Cons: No directions included.
It's 6:20am and your full breasts are dripping milk on the kitchen floor. You need to pump. Do you want to start boiling water on the stove, wait for the boil, add the pump pieces and a bottle and hope you don't fall asleep and ruin those expensive...
Pros: quick, durable, easy to store Cons: very hot after use
I bought this sterilizer when my daughter was about 6 weeks old. She is now 7 months and exclusively breastfed. I use the Avent Isis pump and love it. Until I had this sterilizer I was boiling the pump after every use. I was also boiling her...
Pros: Gets the job done quickly, without having to watch over it every minute. Cons: A little bulky to store
When I had my first and (to date) only baby, Amy, on May 7 2002, I was absolutely clueless about babies in general. I vaguely remember my mother boiling nipples and the like for my kid sister, but that was a very distant memory. So, while filling out...
Pros: Fast and Easy to use! Cons: Bottles get very hot.Lots of condensation.
As a first time mother, I wanted to make sure that my baby had the best of everything. I read about different products, bought and tried things out. I was assured that the tried and true "boil the bottles on the stove" was the best for baby.
