My steriliser has bust!!! Typical, third baby and he is 7 months old.

Should I....get a new one (waste of money for literally a couple of months use!!)

mess around with boiling!!

Mess around with tablets!! (both of the last 2 being time consuming esp with 3 young boys)

or just really hot washes (not dish washer)would do or is he still too young for that yet??

Any advise would be gratefully appreciated

no no no no

I havent sterilised at all for DS. (now 14mnths)

Dishwasher or hot soapy water is fine.

At 7mnths surely he is putting most things in his mouth anyway.

yeah loads goes in his mouth but I always wondered why they say to sterilise for longer???? I wondered if it was a milk thing??? Bacteria on the bottles if they have milk left in them for a while?
