Sterilizing baby bottle

[R111]

Hello, just a quick question as I'm having an argument with the wife. To sterilize plastic baby bottles you do it while the water is boiling water right, you dont boil the water, turn off the heat and then put the bottles in for 5 minutes, you put it in for 5 minutes while the water is boiling?

Thanks and sorry for the stupid question

While it's boiling yes.

What are you using to sterilise it? Pan of hot water - then boil for ten minutes, not five.

I'd obviously first clean bottles with brush, fairy liquid and warm water. Boil the water then dunk the bottles in. I use an electrical steriliser tho. But if I was doing it manually I may boil a kettle put my bottles in a pot and pour all the boiled water onto them and leave it for 10 minutes.

I just used a sterilising machine to put the bottles in after rinsing them out. Not sure I could have coped with dunking them in boiling water everyday. Way too much of a pfaff

I had a stand-alone plug in the wall machine - you can get ones that go in the microwave too.

You need to check if the brand only fits it's own brand bottles.

Look in Boots, Superdrug and Argos.

Just to add we did the cold water method which saved on time but I hated dealing with the Milton.
