Not sure if im posting this in th correct place but....

We are going camping, my dd will be 8 months old (and we have her sister who is 3 years old.) I'm very excited as it's our only holiday this year and me and dp love camping we are going with other friends and reles too. But I'm worried about bottles for little one. The campsite we are using is remote it has a very basic facilities which is what we wanted but now I'm thinking oh shit what about sterilising bottles?? Thing is we only live 45 min drive from
New forest anyway so I could just go home but that would be a bit annoying. Any suggestions ??

If you buy Milton tablets (or boots or whatever) it'll be fine. I used a 1litre bottle of water to measure out the 5litres needed and put it & the rinsed bottles in a washing up bowl. After 15mins take them out - don't rinse - and they're done. As easy as that! And the tablets are cheap too.

I assume you'll have a camping stove? We went camping with our DS for the first time when he was 3 months old. We sterilised the bottles the old fashioned way by boiling them completely submerged in large pan of boiling water with the lid on for 10 minutes. No problem.
