Product Information

She investigated best practice safety recommendations from the NHS and sourced expert advice from Kate Bennett, a midwife of nine years and course teacher with antenatal education provider, New Life Classes. If you'd rather have the plug-in version this appliance is also available as an electric steriliser. Home tester Georgina, mum of a 6 month old, said, "The ease and speed of this machine makes it well worth the money, and there’s no need for descaling or cleaning after each cycle. Instructions are clear and easy to follow, but the Dr Brown’s Deluxe Electric Steam Steriliser is really intuitive to use – three lights on the front let you know instantly whether the eight-minute cycle is heating up, cooling down or completed.

With its handy latches, the lid is easy to open and close and it doubles up as a drainer for sterilised items too. Although it's big, you can only stack items in one layer, meaning it holds only 2 bottles at a time. Microwave, travel and cold water sterilisers can be cleaned with hot soapy water as needed, and many can also go in the dishwasher (check the manufacturer’s instructions first). These tend to be more roomy than the cup model, with the best fitting two bottles in at a time, and able to be reused around 20 times per bag.We know that new parents are sometimes nervous about cutting their baby’s nails, brushing their hair, and generally taking care of them at first. Once the steriliser is full, put the lid on and ensure that it clips onto the side (as shown below).

Now that the bottom half of the bottle is cleaned, you can proceed to fill the bottom tray of the steriliser. Sterilisinga baby’s feeding kit is crucial, but as they grow, their immune system gets stronger, and eventually, you'll no longer need to sterilise their feeding equipment. Our tester also didn’t like its short cable, which limits where it can be placed in the kitchen, and that it arrived wrapped in a lot of unnecessary plastic. You should always sterilize all the parts of baby’s bottle, including the teat, hood and any connectors before you use it for the first time, whether it’s brand new or has been used before. Our favourite setting is Storage mode, which allows the UV light to run every couple of hours to keep items sterilised throughout the day.Follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly, especially when positioning items in the steriliser and adding the correct amount of water or sterilisation solution. To begin assembling the MAM bottles after they’ve been sterilised in the microwave, we recommend starting with the top part of the bottle. To use, simply fill with water, add Milton fluid or Milton tablets then place all the items you want to sterilise in the unit with the weighted grid on top. Parent tester Charlotte, who tested the steriliser with her 3 month old really rated the capacity of the steriliser, telling us "it's definitely made my life easier, being able to load 6 bottles plus lids, teats, dummies etc has been incredibly useful.

With this microwave steriliser, you can sterilise up to 4 baby bottles in just 4 minutes**, ensuring you have feed-ready bottles on hand for your baby, any time. It also has a useful silicone strap that you can attach to pushchairs and changing bags so it's perfect if you're out and about or travelling with your baby and need to sterilise quickly. The base unscrews and the clever design means that, just by putting a little water in the base of the bottle and popping it in the microwave for three minutes, your bottle is sterilised.This baby bottle steriliser is chemical-free and sterilises your bottles and baby feeding accessories using 100% natural steam and therefore leaves no nasty residue. This brilliant 2-in-1 option from Milton gives you the best of both worlds, with the option to either microwave or cold-water sterilise your baby’s bottles. Parent tester Chloe said, "at first I thought the 29 minutes cycle would be a pain but actually it works for me. Along with the parts of the bottle, you’ll want to remember to put the tongs in the top compartment too.
