Silly Question

Sorry if this is a silly question but how do I sterilise bottles / dummies abroad without a microwave ? Do I just use boiled bottled water and tablets?

No question is silly if you don't know the answer !
Microwaves hadn't been invented when I had DC, so Milton was the usual method - either liquid or tablets.

@Lazypuppy do I not need to boil the bottled water first? We are off to Greece

Just tap water as the Milton kills the germs. I think you can only use cold water though.

This was a long time ago for me, but yes I used Milton with tap water (it has to be cold water). I took ready made cartons of milk.

Milton is for use with cold water.

Tbf i don't think i ever sterilised a dummy, and when we took DD on holiday at 6 months i just took ready made bottles was much easier
