to NOT think that these bottles are like 'murder bottles'

I have purchased two of these bottles for my refluxy baby.

After reading some of the comments on a Facebook post of the below picture I am shocked

A small number of posters have likened these bottles to the 'murder bottles' of the 1800s

Although the straw is somewhat reminiscent of the straw of said murder bottles, to me that is where the similarity ends.

Posters have claimed that these bottles will be dangerous and could cause another lot of bacteria related deaths.

Surely - if you clean and sterilise it properly it will be fine. Presumably they did not have the sterilising methods in the 1800s that we have now.

Someone has said that you can't sterilise a straw. Surely you can just pop it in a cold water solution with everything else?

AIBU to think that these people are talking shite, and that these bottles are nothing like murder bottles and will not cause the same consequences for our babies?!

They don't look any more awkward to wash and sterilise than the Doctor Browns bottles I used with both of mine when they were babies. Nor do I look at them and think Murder Bottle!
