Munchkin Cool Touch Microwave Steriliser Bags, Baby Bottle Teat & Dummy Steriliser, 6 Reusable Cold Water Sterilising Unit Alternative, Mini Travel

Product Information

Like other UV sterilisers, the Tommee Tippee Ultra UV unit has a few useful modes that can sterilise, dry, or do both consecutively.

It’s a fiddly set-up with, unsurprisingly, a lot of instructions to read and it’s perhaps not a product for those with limited counter space as there are two units to make room for. We tried electric and microwave and ended up using cold water Milton - it’s so easy just keep adding bottles after washing them and they’re sterile in 15 min. You need to be careful when you remove the bag from the microwave as the steam will be extremely hot - make sure to wait a few minutes to cool before opening. If you’ve got a set-up where you intend to batch-sterilise once a day, a longer cycle won’t matter so much. If you’re bottle-feeding full-time, though, sterilising one or two bottles at a time will be too inefficient and labour-intensive to manage.Once made up you can continue to sterilise bottles throughout the day in the same solution – although it should be changed every 24 hours. The NHS advises that all used equipment – bottles, teats and breast pump parts that come into contact with milk – are cleaned as soon as possible after use using hot soapy water. One method is to use a unit that plugs straight into the mains, while others can be placed in the microwave to heat up.

The Babymoov Turbo Pure Steam sterilises bottles in just eight minutes, and thanks to its cutting-edge design sterilises right to the heart of each bottle using 95 degree steam outlets to stop even the most resistant bacteria in its tracks. They’re usually generously sized, so can handle up to a day’s worth of bottles all at once, and require almost no preparation and no further outlay to use them regularly. Last year’s Mumsnet Best winner is a spacious, professional-looking steriliser with a main compartment for six bottles and a top compartment for smaller items like dummies and teats.You can get one out of the box, put the required amount of water in the bottom and you’re good to go. They take up a lot less space than electric sterilisers, are much easier to clean, and do the job quickly - all you need is a microwave!

It’s ideal for sterilising on the go without the need for a sterilising solution or big bulky sterilising products that must be plugged in. The active ingredient is sodium hypochlorite, which is a mild bleach that has been through a purification process to make it stable and non-toxic.According to the NHS, sterilising feeding equipment is necessary for the first 12 months to keep your baby free from bacteria that could harm their brand-new immune systems. This steriliser is certainly well built, and although it takes up a fair amount of kitchen counter space, it actually looks like a sleek piece of equipment.
