[Wobbles]

Electric steriliser
cold water sterilising
boil
microwave
dishwasher

Just read a lil bit about dishwasher method! At first I thought you'd need to sterilise after but now its looking like you don't that does the job!

In which case I wasted £40 LOL

Cleaning your baby's bottles in a dishwasher is becoming more popular but the right temperature for sterilisation will only be reached on a hot programme of 80 degrees C or more.

Don't know if this will bother you, but when you put the Avent bottles in the DISHWASHER** (Corrected myself) the food stains the lids mainly and also the while plastic screw bit. It's not a problem, but doesn't look too hygienic. Also, be careful no one puts them on the bottom rack, as this causes the bottles to crack.. we had to buy a whole new set of bottles when someone did this.

I would always sterilise after running them in the dishwasher, just to be on the safe side.

We use the Avent Steam Steriliser, it's great.. does the job.

Pretty good read.

Cold water steriliser with milton fluid. It can also be used as a microwave steriliser but our micro is on top of our fridge freezer, so I don't fancy getting the steriliser out and a face full of boiling water (ouch!)

Lids & teats I think I'd boil! I was also wondering about the dishwasher rinse then sterilising However as someone pointed out the dishwasher is hotter than a steriliser and I hope it does what it says it should as far as cleaning & steaming goes for my own benefit lol BUT over all I bought a digi tippee steriliser so I'm using it lol but was curious after I read about it.

I didn't mean steriliser by the way, I meant dishwasher LOL

I was going to say the same thing. Our Tommee Tippee bottles and bits went a weird orange colour after going in the dishwasher. I've been handwashing then steam sterilising ever since.

Yea it's nasty isn't it? every time we were in public I found myself trying to hide the bottle as I didn't want people to think we were a dirty family lmao.
