Baby sterilisers

Hi everyone.
We currently use a TT electric stream steriliser which was a hand me down from a family member. It’s beginning to need descaling a couple of times a week, within 2 days of descaling and cleaning the plate is getting limescale again. We are also a bit fed up of water getting everywhere when lifting lid, having to empty everytime and wipe.

I’m looking at the TT UV steriliser instead, has anyone used one? I’ve seen things that it turns clear bottles slightly yellow but our bottles are purple so that wouldn’t be an issue.

Thank you 💜

How old is your baby ? My health visitor said hot soapy water was fine from 6 months

I went through a few sterilisers but settled on the Milton cold water steriliser. Found it soo much quicker and easier then the others. Can even take it on holiday very easily.

We’ve settled on cold water sterilising after looking into after your comment, thank you 😃

We use the Milton cold water steriliser! So handy!

Also Milton cold water steriliser!

it amazes me that people use the microwave sterilisers, I think it’s MAM but not too sure? Why you’d want to heat up plastic and then let your child drink from that is beyond me

This is against NHS and WHO advice.

I use the Milton cold water one as well.
Has the Tommy tippee electric steamer with my first and wish I hadn't bothered.

I've also got the mam bottles which are very handy too

It's six of one and half a dozen of the other. I work in a nursery and won't use a cold water steriliser at home as the strong chemical smell that lingers makes me uneasy and I can't imagine it tastes or smells nice for the baby when feeding.

Far better to soak it all in a bleach like solution ???

We have the TT steam and dry steriliser which is ready for descaling. I have seen to use white vinegar but no idea which one? The distilled white vinegar or normal cleaning vinegar?
