Best baby sterilizer | Best baby bottle sterilizer

The best baby bottle sterilizer for you will depend on your needs and preference. There are two choices of baby bottle sterilizer. Firstly, microwave sterilizers. These are containers in which you fit the bottles and go into a microwave. They are quick and convenient but obviously you need a microwave to use them. One good thing about microwave sterilizers is that you won't need to descale them.

The other option of baby sterilizer is the electric steam sterilizer. This is the one I chose for sterilizing my baby's bottles. The advantages of a steam sterilizer is that it's an all one unit so you don't need a microwave. This makes it ideal to take to places if you're travelling at any point. However, they are usually more expensive than a microwave sterilizer. Also, you have to descale them about once a month.

If you do decide on a microwave sterilizer, there are other options you can take with you when travelling including sterilizing bags. Or just make sure there is a microwave wherever you go.

Additionally, when choosing a baby sterilizer make sure that it fits any bottles that you may have already bought. Some only fit specific brands of bottle whereas others will accommodate lots of different kinds of bottles.
