Bottle sterilisers are essential for keeping your babies bottles, pacifiers, and other items clean and bacteria-free.

What to Consider

Method

Most sterilisers use steam either from electricity or a microwave. Cold water sterilisers require a liquid steriliser to create a solution and can be used on the go. Ultraviolet sterilisers use higher frequency light to kill bacteria.

Capacity

If you have a lot of bottles and accessories or prefer to sterilise all your bottles at once, purchase a steriliser with a larger carrying capacity

Time

Faster sterilisers are useful when your baby gets hungry or starts to cry
Sterilization DurationIf you plan on sterilising your bottles all at once, pick a steriliser which will keep them clean for 24 hours.

Auto-switch off

Sterilisers which automatically switch off are convenient and allow you to do other things while your bottles are sterilised.

Tips

• Check with your provider to see if your steriliser comes with a warranty
• Always wash your hands before using a steriliser
• Sterilise your equipment manually by placing it in a pot of boiling water, although this alternative method is fast it can degrade plastic quickly
• If you purchase a microwave steam steriliser make sure it fits into your microwave
• Make sure all of your equipment has been scrubbed clean before placing it in the steriliser - otherwise it won't be effective
• Soothers (pacifiers) and all other baby equipment should be sterilised as well for at least the first 12 months
