About this deal

Kate Bennett says, “This is such an individual choice. It depends on what you find easiest, what your budget is and how much space you have. That’s before you think about what you’ll be sterilising and how you plan to feed your baby.” There are four main sterilisation units on the market: cold water sterilisers, microwave sterilisers, electric sterilisers and travel sterilisers. They all have their own pros and cons. 1. Cold water steriliser

There will be residual water in the base of the bag. To remove the water, hold the bag in the cool area as indicated and pour the water away from you into the sink. Do not fully unzip the bag before removing the residual water. Once the residual water is removed, your items will be ready for use. Or you can slide the zip seal closed to transport your items. They will remain sterile for up to 24 hours.With steam sterilising, water is added to the sterilising unit which then boils to create steam that kills the bacteria. Some steam sterilisers are standalone and will plug into the wall, whilst others are super simple and can just be popped in the microwave. If you’re using bottles and breast pumps regularly but not intensively, you might find that a travel steriliser is sufficient for your needs – it’s certainly cheaper to buy and easier to throw into a drawer. If you’re bottle-feeding full-time, though, sterilising one or two bottles at a time will be too inefficient and labour-intensive to manage. 5. UV steriliser

Thoroughly disinfects in about 3 minutes: designed for Efficient, effective sanitization of most breast pump parts and accessories, including bottles, nipples, pacifiers, cups, breast shields, and more Yes, it’s important to wash your bottles before you sterilise them to ensure you remove any dried-on milk which could be harbouring bacteria. You can thoroughly wash them in warm soapy water or put them in your dishwasher. Make sure you place your bottles and teats face down in the dishwasher so they don’t fill with dirty water. If you’re washing them by hand, use bottle and teat brushes to ensure you clean every part of the bottle. One of the many benefits of breastfeeding is not having to sterilise equipment between feeds, however, if you are expressing your breast milk, the NHS advises that you should sterilise any bottles used to store it. On the downside, the heating plate will almost certainly attract limescale over time so the steriliser will need descaling once or twice a month. You can buy descaling liquid for this, though all steriliser brands now include instructions for natural descaling liquid from store cupboard ingredients which is a more eco-friendly option. Electric sterilisers are also the most expensive to buy. 3. Microwave steriliserCold water sterilisers involve filling a container with water and adding sterilisation tablets or fluid to make a sterilisation solution. The active ingredient is sodium hypochlorite, which is a mild bleach that has been through a purification process to make it stable and non-toxic. It’s perfectly safe to use, but does smell vaguely of swimming pool. Key details – Type: Electric and microwave steam steriliser; Capacity: Approx 5 bottles; Travel-friendly: Yes
