Answer 1

Hi Victoria,

You can get citric acid directly from Avent.

http://www.aventbabyshop.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=872

It is 50p a sachet and there is a delivery charge but it is the easiest way to get it.

They are also very quick on delivery.

As Scarlet says you can't use tablets in a steam steriliser.

Answer 2

I buy it from alliance pharmacy.
You need to ask for it cause they keep it out the back.
Altenatively if you are really stuck you can buy it on ebay or you can use vinigar, i havent used the vinegar as i was worried it would taint the bottles!
boots also sell it.

good luck

PS everyone you CANT use sterilising tablets in a steam sterilliser!
the citric adcid is to clean the sterilliser, the steam sterillises the bottles!

Answer 3

Any pharmacy or chemist would do it.But why would you want to use citric acid when you can propritry bottle sterilisers for babies from the likes of Boots?!
