im going away on holiday i need to sterlize my babys bottles etc?

Question

i dont want to bring my big sterlizlier what could i take?

Answer 1

Tommee Tippee make the disposable bottles which are sterile, you can get them in Mothercare, and I also saw them in Tesco the other day.

You can also get the bags or even the small sized microwave steriliser which you fill with cold water before popping in the microwave.

Aside from this though, there isn't much else you can do except for placing the bottles in boiling water for three minutes or so to sterilise them but I'd not want to go for this unless I knew the water was 100% clean coming from the tap into the kettle!

Answer 2

You can buy sterilising bags that go in the microwave they can be reused upto 10 times i think, Cannot remember where i got them it was a few years ago now try asking at one of the main chemists see if they still do them.
If thats no good you could just take steri-bottles (single use bottles ready sterilised) they are widely availabe at most good supermarkets and chemists.
Hope this helps. :O)

Answer 3

you can get bags that go in the microwave from baby's r us at toy's r us you can use them 20 times each and they come in packs of 3 so thats 60 clean bottles for your holidays just make sure you have a microwave where you are staying

Answer 4

You can use a microwave sterilizer (assuming you'll have access to a microwave). If you're visiting friends/relatives, you can boil the bottle parts in a big pot of water on the stove.

Answer 5

Mothercare sell disposable sterilising bags. You just fill them up with water, put your bottles in and hang it from a door handle for 30 mins. They are individually wrapped and don't take up any room in your case.

Answer 6

I agree with the disposable liners and you can bring a thermos and fill it with hot water at the travel plaza of from home,When you need to wash out the nipples just use hot water from the thermos.

Answer 7

Once you've sterilized them the first time, you don't have to sterilize them every single time you use them but if you're worried, you can boil water in a pot on the stove or heat up really hot water in the microwave and then put the bottles and nipples in the hot water.

Answer 8

more expensive option is disposible use once bottles but you can boil your normal bottles for over 1/2 hour

Answer 9

sterlising tablets from boots, superdrug or any supermarket, they come in a small box. dissolve them in cold water and sterlise bottles the good old fashioned way.
