About this deal
A steriliser can be used to kill bacteria found on lots of different baby feeding equipment like baby bottles, teats and breast pump parts. Costs to the retailer will also be decreased and this could be shared with the consumer, thus leading to greater satisfaction.
In theory any clean plastic container with a lid will do, but the travel sterilisers have the lines on so you put the correct amount of water in (as do the normal Milton sterilisers). It doesn’t require extensive cleaning, fits almost any bottle or jar you can find, and is small enough to travel in a pinch, makes it the obvious choice for a day-to-day bottle warmer when you’re in the comfort of your own home. This safely kills bacteria in the formula while bringing the milk to drinking temperature straight away.A bottle brush should be used to clean inside bottles and teats can be turned inside to get into the nooks and crannies. It looks at first glance like a nice countertop coffee machine, and wouldn’t be out of place in any modern kitchen. Mixing formula with freshly boiled water is the safest way to feed, as it ensures any harmful bacteria are eliminated!
There are four main sterilisation units on the market: cold water sterilisers, microwave sterilisers, electric sterilisers and travel sterilisers. You can do this via UV sterilisation, cold water sterilisation, steam sterilisation or in a dishwasher.
Baby plates and bowls, cutlery and sippy cups will also need to be sterilised if they’re used before six months but, after that, washing in hot soapy water should be sufficient.
