Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I liked the product, the design is great and the velcro strap is a very good length and strength. It doubled up as a toy as my little one was mesmerised by the bright colour of the strap :-)
Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes and no, easy to use once I got into a habbit of sorting it out every evening, however, 15 min to wait for the dummy to be sterilised prooved to be pretty much impossible. I also hate the smell and am not comfortable with the dummy not been rinsed before I give it to my baby. So basically I was ending up with carrying an extra dummy and a bottle of water as well as the Milton Mini. By the end of the week I went back to sterilising a couple of dummies in advance and using the Milton Mini as a "dummy holder" without the sponges/liquid.
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Dummies are very expensive, so I guess 6.99 is in line with the cost of the dummies.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Saw it advertised on TV

PS Please proof read the copy on the back of the packaging as there are a lot of typos.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?

Very portable, good design and very practical product. I used Tommy Tippee dummies which fit well.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes. Initially there was a bit of familiarising with the different components/how to use it. But after that it got easier.

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes. The teat of the dummy was immersed in the sponges/solution, and the smell of Milton tablets made me feel as if the teat was effectively sterilised. Not sure about the handle of the dummy though? One of my other DCs used to chew on the handle too, so maybe the steriliser should have had the whole dummy immersed.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

As a one-off purchase this seems like a reasonable price, especially if you're out and about a lot with your DC. I'm home a lot so can easily sterilise it using boiling water at home which seems easier and doesn't stink of the Milton tablet which I've never been that keen on. I found the tablets for just under £4 for 50 on Amazon, so I guess a reasonable price to use out and about as they would last a while.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes especially for an older baby who kept throwing their dummy out of the buggy. I think, though, I would have found it more useful as a first-time mum, when I was far more anal about cleanliness. Now I think a few germs is good for the immune system

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?

I had babies in NICU so used Milton there for sterilising the breast pump/bottles. I never used it home, just the microwave steriliser stuff. I hadn't heard of this particular product before, though. Again, not being a first-time mum, I'm less likely to be buying lots of baby paraphernalia.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I really liked the idea of being able to sterilise dummies on the go.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes in terms of the sterilising process, although when I wasn't using the product and the sponges had dried, it was a bit of a pain keeping everything together as the sponges wouldn't fit back in to the bowl dry.

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your Yes, the dummy looked really clean.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
I think that £6.99 is a bit high, I would be happy to pay £3.99 or £4.99 but not really any more.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes I would, although I would raise my concerns re the sponges and the price.

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes & yes.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I really like the design. It feels durable and the finish feels fresh and clean.
Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Very much so, although my tablet seems to take ages to melt? I think the instructions were a little faffy for something that's actually really straightforward.
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes.
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Given that its really easy to carry spare dummies and not an absolute necessity, i think its a couple of quid too much really.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would, but I do think its one of those products that you think you need, until you think about it.
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
. I'm a huge fan of Milton, there is always a bottle in the cupboard under the sink! A friend has one, I haven't been able to source one locally and still haven't seen one, or the mini tablets anywhere.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I really like the look of it and ease of use.
Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes it was pretty straightforward and the instructions made sense!
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, I think the fact it smelled so strong reassured me it was doing it's job and also Milton is a brand I trust.
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes it's pretty good for an on the go convenience product.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, it's easy to use, does the job and looks good.
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
I wasn't aware of this product but have used Milton cold water steriliser fluid and Milton spray before.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?

That it was a good product for parents who are very on top of parenting! The only reason I say that is you have to be organised to use it. Remembering to sort it out in the morning, and I am still carrying a spare dummy as it takes 15mins to work.
Before I had the mini if my ds' dummy ended up on the floor, I'd bung it in my pocket and give him the clean and sterilised one, if the same happened with that the one that was dropped in a cleaner place got a suck and went back in! This is a better soliton but 15mins is way to long to have to entertain a crying baby for when they just want their dummy! I also on a few occasions forgot to look at the time when I put it in, but am aware some sort of timer on the mini would push the price up significantly

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

fairly easy to use, once you get to grips with it. Dp struggles slightly with the sponges but I think that's mainly him not paying attention!

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?

I think the dummy is sterile once it comes out of the mini, the smell is very overpowering though. Also, I've just re-read the instructions online (I lost my paper ones!) and the big X showing it's harmful and the dead fish and tree showing it's dangerous to the environment is a concern, because we are putting this in our babies mouths?!

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

I think that £6.99 is a reasonable amount seeing as you can pay up to £5 for two dummies! I was pleasantly surprised that the refill packs for the mini were only £2.99 as I thought they would be more, it works out fairly cheap so good for someone on a budget. Not sure how long the mini will last though as it does say on the information leaflet that it's expected to last for 'months' so not something you can keep between children, which is a shame

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?

I think it really depends on the parenting style they will adopt, I've got two friends who are yet to have children and one of them will be getting this for a present when they do, the other one will not!! Equally, a few of my friends with dc maybe 3 months + are trying to cut dummy use down to just at night, which we will also be doing, so it does have a limited appeal.

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?

I had seen the product in a few shops and a few of my friends have them, but I'm very much one of those 'suck it and bung it back in' parents! Heard of Milton but tend to use the boots/ asda own brand version for anything I need.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?

Very light and compact, love the strap so that it can be clipped to anything.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

Really easy to use, water + tablet = good to go!

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?

Smells nice and clean when you take out the dummies, very happy that it's done it's job.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

Considering how expensive good dummies are, very good value.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would definitely recommend it to any friends as it is so convenient.

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?

I have heard of Milton before but didn't know that they did this product.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini? It was pretty nifty looking and compact enough for on the go.
Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not? Very easy. Good instructions.
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not? Definitely. IT reached all of the dummy and the smell was evidence for me it was clean.
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not? Yes I do as a one off purchase.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not? Definitely I am a big trumpet blower for easy hygiene.
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product? I hadn't heard of this product but had heard of and have experience of using the Milton brand.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I liked the look of the product and was easy to set up / use

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
I found it really easy to use, good and clear instructions.

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?*
Yeah i feel it was sterilised effectively as there was a smell of Milton on the dummys

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
I feel the price is a little expensive around the £5 mark would be better as you also need the special smaller tablets which are arund the £3 mark

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would as I have found it useful, I store one in it when I go out then just swop the dummies as needed

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did
this product?
Yes I have heard of Milton and use it anyway

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
First impressions were that the MM was a nice shape, small & compact & a lovely blue colour.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes the instructions were easy to follow, very clear. Add water + sterilising tablet + 15 minutes wait time

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Dummy had a chemical bleach smell (like the olden day sterilisers!) which I'm not keen on.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
To make this appeal to more parents why not make MM cheaper, under £5 would be better considering that the sterilising tablets have to be purchased every so often.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, it's a nifty portable dummy steriliser which is great for parents on the go with any aged children that use dummies when out & about :)

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Never heard of the MM dummy steriliser but had used the large sterilising tablets a long time ago!

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
First impressions were that the MM was small, compact & a great blue colour.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
The instructions were simple and easy to read, basically add water to the required line + sterilising tablet + 15 minutes = sterilised dummy :)

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Most definitely, the dummy had a chemical bleach smell (which I'm not keen on)

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
To appeal to more parents why not reduce the cost of the MM as the mini sterilising tablets have to be purchased every so often, depending on how often the MM is used, saying that as a one off payment of £6.99 is not that steep so long as the product is used.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes it is good for parents who are out & about with children who rely on using dummies. 15 minutes is not that long to wait for a clean sterilised dummy, it takes that long to change my baby's nappy & redress her!

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
I wasn't aware of the MM but in the past used the larger Milton sterilising daughter (many moons ago!)

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
Good idea for taking dummies when out and about. Good appearance of but not particularly fond of the pink.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes although fiddly the first time

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes because of smell

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Reasonable for portability but not for at home as free to put in box came with/bottle steriliser

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes but only if they weren't sterilising anything else and were worried about cleanliness. By now my ds puts most things in his mouth so less worried than when new born! (I do steralise dummies at least daily though!)

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes but not used before

I added my feedback to this thread last night but it seems to have disappeared... I'll redo it later

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini? I thought it was cute and came in a handy size

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not? I found it pretty easy to use, but thought that it may have been to small for some wide4 dummy brands, it did take an age for the sponges to soften though

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not? definitely thought dummy was sterilised had that obvious Milton smell to it

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not? rather expensive for something I can do at home and just bring spare out with me

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I was would if it was a bit cheaper

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product? aware of milton, as I use it at my job (nursery) aware of product as I had seen the (cheesy).adverts

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I thought that it looked great it was a nice colour ( purple) and that it looked nice and compact and ideal for when you are on the go.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes it was super easy to use with really easy to follow instructions and took no time at all to set up and use.
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
yes as you could smell the sterlising solution when you took the dummy out the milton mini.
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
I think it is great value as it is very affordable and it is something that you will use every time you take your child out so it works out a lot cheaper then having to keep buying soothers if one gets dropped when you are out and about.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
yes i would recommend this, in fact i already have done to a few other parents i know for the simple fact that it so affordable and easy to use and is perfect for when you are out and about with your child.
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes i remember my mum using milton products with my younger brother when i was a child so i have growing up knowing that they are a well established and trusted brand. I have seen this product on a tv advert and was planning on buying a one before i got sent this one to try out.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
Looks nice, good colour and very compact!

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Fairly easy to use - the instructions are pretty clear. Easy to take out of box and use straight away, only thing needed is a bit of water.
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, it did seem to look, feel and smell clean. Although, I didn't like the thought of using the dummy with the chemical smell on it.
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
It's quite a good price considering how much you could pay for a new dummy. Depends on the price of the tablets though as if you are using it regularly, the ongoing price could add up. It could be just as easy (and cheaper) to carry a spare, sterile dummy.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
If it came up in conversation, then I would certainly say that it seems to work but would mention the ongoing cost and as above, just as easy to carry a spare dummy.
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes, I had heard of Milton and had seen the Mini before in passing but hadn't actually looked at how it worked.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I like it. It's small enough to fit in my bag, attractive, bright colours. The shape is nice as well.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes I found it very easy to use. The instructions were clear and the ease of setting it up was very simple. The sponges did take quite a while to soak the water up though.

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes it seemed to work quite well. I did give it an extra rinse with boiling water though as I'm never quite sure if it'll taste nice with the tablet smell to it.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Maybe if you are an overly paranoid parent that feels the need to have a steriliser everywhere they go. I personally wouldn't pay that for it.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would probably mention that I'd tried one and it was good,not sure if I would push to recommend it.

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes I've heard of Milton, its a brand I would feel trustworthy of. I'd never heard of this product before testing it though.

1. Looked great, nice colour and compact design. My son wanted to play with it!
2. Very easy to use once you read the instructions. Same as all other sterilising products really.
3. Good at cleaning the dummies. The sponge was tight enough to make contact with all of the dummy surface so I was confident the dummy was clean after using.
4. Good value for money but extra tablets are expensive, especially if used every day.
5. Friends have already asked what it is and are going to buy one for themselves. I have recommended, however the strong smell is not for everyone and my son is not at all keen on this.
6. I have heard of Milton but not heard of this product before.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
I quite liked the Milton Mini, it was easy to use and very handy when out and about, I wouldn’t use it day to day at home, as zapping a dummy in the microwave steriliser is much faster, but for out and about it’s been really useful

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
it was very easy to use, and great for storing a spare dummy in while out and about so we could swap it out when a dummy invariably ended up on the floor

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, we use Milton for cleaning our cycling water bladders, so we know how effective Milton is as a brand

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
I think it’s a decent price to pay of you have an outdoor lifestyle or you spend a lot of timeout and about, I wouldn’t use it just at home though. I was curious as to whether the regular Milton tablets could be halved or quartered and used instead of the mini tablets

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I’d happily recommend it to friends

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
We have used Milton for many years, to keep our cycling drink bottles and water bladders clean, we did try using Milton for sterilising DD’s bottles, but she didn’t like the taste. we had seen this product in Mothercare, but not paid too much attention to it

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?

Excellent for making sure you always have a sterile dummy to hand.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

It was very easy to use, i just made sure i had 2 dummies on me.

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilized your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, the smell gives a reassurance that its been cleaned. My baby doesn't mind the smell.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

Its an ok price point but its not a one off purchase as you will keep needing to buy the mini tablets, therefore maybe lower price.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, its handy when your out and about, it's a gadget you don't need, but nice to have.

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?

I have heard of milton, as a child of the 80s remember the tv ads for the cold water sterlisers but i was unaware of the mini dummy version.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
Love the shape of it and the fact that it is easily attached to pushchairs/bags. Really modern design with great packaging

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
It was very easy to use! Instructions were very clear and it was quick to set up

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes it did. It had a lovely almost clinical smell. It was much better than using wipes which lead a residue

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
I think this is good value for money considering how much use you get out of it. I assumed it would have cost more being a 'mum-gadget' and all! I don't know how much the replacement tablets cost though so that could change my opinion

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes I would definitely recommend the Milton Mini due to the fact it's very easy to use and great for on the go use

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes I had heard of Milton and a friend had a Milton Mini

Thanks!

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?

Love the look of it and the idea behind it. Seemed easy and useful.

Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

Found the mini easy to use and once I'd used it for the first time, was very simple.

Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?

I felt the dummy was effectively sterilised because it was fully submerged inthe liquid and I trust milton solution.

Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?

Honestly I'd have bought it if on promotion but not at 6.99 I don't think it's terribly expensive but I like a bargain!

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I already have as I have friends
With similar ages babies who would use it

Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?

Yes I've heard of milton from years back (20+) and I'd see this product advertised.

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
It looked ok and handy to attach to buggy or something but was bigger than I thought it would be.
Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
The set up was a bit of a pain as the sponges took ages to soften and you have to wait for the tablets to dissolve which when you’re on the way out of the door with a screaming baby that’s not ideal. The 15 minutes to wait for a sterile dummy with a screaming baby is not ideal either so wouldn’t use it for the main dummy but to carry a spare but then you could do that by using another container and sterilising the dummy with boiling water or something which is much easier and quicker.
Having to change the solution every 24 hours is a pain too and means you waste tablets if not used.
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not?
The strong smell which baby isn’t keen on seemed to indicate the teat was sterilised but the rest of the dummy (the handle etc) wasn’t submersed in the solution so don’t think that using this method alone would work for babies that chew the sides of the dummy and handle. Also I’ve just seen the comments above about it being harmful for the environment (must have missed it on the instructions) so I don’t feel good about using it regularly for my baby!
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not?
Not as it only comes with 10 tablets which is a week and a half’s worth – if it came with say a month’s worth of tablets then yes especially as you have to buy special tablets for it.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would mention it as an option if it came up in conversation but wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it.
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product?
Yes I’d heard of Milton as a sterilising solution but not this product before being asked to test it – I’d previously seen one of these on someone’s pram and thought it held nappy bags!

Q1. What was your overall impression of the Milton Mini?
Usefull, easy to use and fast! A perfect way to save mums from baby shouts during the whole day!!! Ahahahah
Q2. Did you find the Milton Mini easy to use, or not? If so, why? If not, why not? I found it easy to use because it takes 5 minutes to prepare and it's so little that can fit everywhere
Q3. Did you get the impression that the Milton Mini effectively sterilised your child’s soother/dummy? If so, why? If not, why not? The pads where the dummy has to be inserted is wet so i'm sure the dummy will be perfectly sterilised
Q4. The Milton Mini retails at £6.99, do you think this is good value for money, or not? If so, why? If not, why not? I think it is a good money specially because inside there are also 10 sterilised tablets
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Milton Mini to friends and/or family? If so, why? If not, why not? Already done with all my mums friend!!!!
Q6. Have you heard of Milton before and were you aware that Milton did this product? I use Milton product such us the towels and the sterilised liquid. A friend of mine told me about Milton and once I tried it... I never stoped to use it!!!!!!!!!
