Microwave or electric steriliser? - Page 2

Danielleee · Mar 26th, 2012, 04:24 AM

I use the Avent electric steriliser but i'm not 100% happy with it and considering replacing with a microwave one. It's meant to take 6 bottles but it's a tight squeeze and personally i don't like putting in more than 5. Mine also seems to take longer than the 8 minutes it claims. Also it builds up with limescale quickly even though i live in a soft water area

. I think the microwave ones remain sterile for longer too x

I use the Tommee Tippee microwave steriliser. Takes 8 minutes to do 4 bottles. I can't fault it and way cheaper than electric.

[QUOTE=fairyflowers;16434439]iv found a really great bargain. do i even need all the extras other than a steriliser?

£65 - free delivery tommee tipee starter thing
Box Contains
# 1 x Electric steam steriliser - use microwave one
# 1 x Travel steriliser - wouldn't use
# 1 x Electric bottle and food warmer - wouldn't use
# 2 x 150 ml bottles with slow flow teats - 0m+ - these bottles I stopped using at 4 weeks when LO started drinking 6oz# 4 x 260 ml bottles with slow flow teats - 0m+ - still using
# 2 x Medium flow teats - 3-6m - started using these at 6 weeks# 2 x Fast flow teats - 6m+ - haven't used yet
# 4 x Milk storage lids - don't use# 6 x Milk powder dispensers - 0m+ - these are fab
# 2 x Insulated bottle bags - I've got these but hardly use them
# 1 x Bottle and teat brush - use all the time

So I think if bought individually will work out cheaper.

im in agreement with zinky i think too, i fed lo at room temp, so never needed bottle warmers or insulated bags. all i used was steriliser £10 which came with a free bottle dummy and brush. formula in the powder dispensers £3 then tapped them into room temp bottles £13 when needed. So £26 is all i would spend. Teats i did throw a pack into shopping every week from she wss newborn so when she turned 3 months i had all the next teats ready.

its weird cos its hard to know what YOU will actually do/use xx

I would buy individually too. You may find that a different brand of bottle suits better, I stocked up on Avent bottles and they didn't suit my Lo at all x
