Put objects in rapidly boiling water for 8 minutes. Do not over sterilize. Sterilize when 1st purchased, forgotten in a diaper bag or car or has been used and sitting out too long. The plastics have been made much more soft through the years and will break down if over sterilized. If you can not get to something to wash right away, fill a clean plastic box with hot, soapy water and fill it with bottles or pumping cones. This way, it does not have to be sterilized when you get around to washing it. Paci's and nipples have a 3 month life span.

The water has to be to a rolling boil before you put the stuff in it. Set your timer for 5 minutes and let it boil hard.
And no, dishwashers do NOT sterilize bottles (or dishes, for that matter!) The water in the dishwasher gets very hot, and most diswasher detergents contain chlorine bleach, but they don't sterilize anything. The only two things that sterilize are boiling water/steam and an autoclave (what they use at hospitals to sterilize surgical equipment). Dishwashers just sanitize, and there's a huge difference.

I wash the bottles and put them into the pot as I wash them. Then after all of them are in the water I turn it on, after it begins to boil I let it boil 5 minutes, then turn it off and let the water cool down. I take the bottles out after the water has cooled.

personaly i make up 6 bottles at a time and keep them interior the refrigerator. you should throw away in the adventure that they are out for more effective than 2 hours. in case you sterlise the bottle teat and lid and use boiled water (it truly is sterile and once you upload powder, it sterilises the powder, there is not any longer some thing it truly isn't any longer serile. the reason they say no longer to make up bottles is because in some countrys human beings don't have the ability to keep bottles proper refridgerated.! yet convinced in case you seal the bottle when you sterrilise it, it is going to stay sterile, yet might want to purely go away it 24 hours to be secure. the tommee tippee milk dispensers are avaliable interior the united kingdom too and may want to be very sensible desire this enables

I would put it all in first and when the water reaches a boil the stuff will already be sterilized.160 for a few minutes kills most things and 212 is just about absolute

i put it in before and let everything stay in there on a boil for 5 minutes. then, whatever germs it picked up before the pot boils is killed in the 5 minutes after the boil

Generally after. However, the bottom line is it doesn't really matter as long as what you are sterilizing goes into water that is hot enough to kill any critters living on it (ie. boiling).

I agree with ditzydoo2. I was told by my pediatrician that you only need to boil the bottles and nipples once. That's right after you buy them. After you do that, you just have to wash them in hot, soapy water.

either or but if you put them in before the water starts to boil then they will be already wet and the temperature won't be such a shock (sort of speak) hey I'm just glad that you are taking the time out to do that !!

I always put everything in the pan and put the water in and let it boil. No matter how you do it, it gets the job done.
