what is the process to steam sterilize baby bottles?

Answer 1

I bought the sterilizer from Avent. It's pretty simple and quick. I normally wash the bottles with warm water, put them in my Avent Sterilizer for 7 minutes and they are ready to go. My daughter is 8 months and I still used it.
The old fashion way is to boil some water put your bottles in the boiled water and move them around with a fork or whatever works so they get the boiled water inside.

Answer 2

Boil both the bottles and nipples for 3 minutes when you first buy them . After that just wash them in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher. Also when you buy new bottles they have directions on the packages for sterilization.

Answer 3

This is not needed anymore. Washing the bottles in soapy hot water will do just fine.

If you prefer to sterilize them you can do it on a stove in a pan of boiling water.

Answer 4

You can buy steam sterilizing bags by Lansinoh. You place your bottles, nipples, pacifiers in them, fill them with 4 oz of water and put them in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. They work great and are very convenient. The only place I have seen them at is Target.

Answer 5

I washed them normally in hot soapy water, then after rinsed I'd put them in a big pan, fill it with hot water, cover it and let it come to a boil on the stove. Then take off the cover. Bottles in one pan, boil for 5 min. Nipples, caps, and covers, (and pacifiers) go in a separate pan for only 2 min., or the nipples will get sticky. Some do as they get older anyway, even if you are careful.

Answer 6

Girl, we don't really need to do this anymore. Washing bottles in hot, soapy water in your sink works just fine. Unless you are living in a city without, like, plumbing and sewer and the like. Then, you gotta worry.

Answer 7

they have the kits in stores, by dr. brown's or the first years...i never did it, i used a dishwasher--but if i had to, i'd buy one of those kits. can't you boil on the stove as well?
