Hi Ladies:
Tell me what you think--microwave bottle sterilizers...necessary or not? I've heard mixed reviews from Mom friends IRL and want to get some more opinions before I decide to register for one.
Thanks!

Otherwise, I really don't think a sterilizer is necessary.
I did keep some of the Medela microwave sterilizer bags on hand for pump parts on the go.
Have one and didn't need it.

Would love to hear other people's opinions on an electric sterilizer vs a microwave one. Which one holds more pieces? I pump exclusively so have a lot to wash every day.
I wish there was a washer/sterilizer . . . lol!

What do you gals think...bottle sterilizers, necessary or not? I've heard mixed reviews from my Mom friends. Some of them think they're a complete waste because you're washing everything in hot, soapy water anyway, and some of the super paranoid ones ...

That's just my take and then just hand wash them in hot water & soap after that .
I don't see the point in buying a sterilizer.
And the dishwasher is effective IMHO.

We are using glass bottles. Is it necessary? (I also wasn't sure if it is just a necessity for plastic bottles). We have little cabinet space and I really would rather not clutter them up with more stuff that I'm not going to need or use. I think I read...

Based on this info I wont be buying.
I got and said they never used the sterilizer and it was a total waste.
Ours is pretty good, but we got a microwave one anyway.
Be okay because it gets hot enough in there.

I think this was asked before but... do you sterilize LOs bottles? How often? We have the Dr. Brown's sterilizer and I am wondering if it is really necessary. Baby 411 and WTE both said only the initial use. I only got one b/c my SIL had one. I wish I...

I've got an electric avent steriliser that someone gave me but I have no idea how the whole process works.
So I wash the bottles, teats etc then put them in the steriliser and run it.
What next? Once it's finished do I take things out and dry them? Or...

My dishwasher has a "sanitize" option. Can I run my bottles on this cycle only or do I need to run them through a full cycle (with soap) and then sterilize?
I googled it but didn't find any clear answer.
THANKS!
