Avent Microwave Steriliser

I bought this steriliser three years ago, when pregnant with my first child. I thought that it was a great invention-i remember my mum having to plug in a steriliser that took ages to complete its cycle-a nightmare when you've got a baby screaming for a feed! the set i bought came with 2 bottles. I found this steriliser really easy to use, and can sterilise up to 4 bottles at a time, and it only took around 5 minutes. One thing i found that i didnt like was that you had to be careful when opening the steriliser soon after taking it out of the microwave, as obviously the steam comes rushing out. i found the side clips a little fiddly, and hard to undo them and ...  Read the complete review

I can remember when I was young my mum had a brother and I'm old enough to remember she seemed to spend a lot of time boiling bottle tops, bottles, dummies, etc etc. This seemed to involve some fairly unpleasant chemicals and the potential scalding problem so when we had our first child last year we were delighted to find out that technology had moved on and the need for the huge steamers are now long gone. We bought an Avent microwave steriliser and to tell the truth it was one of the best things we ever bought. The product cost around £25 and is about 9 inches round by about 5 inches high. The product The product is made of three ...  Read the complete review

The plethora of things you need for a new baby is immense and some things are needed over others. If you're bottle feeding your little one a steriliser is an important bit of kit (in my opinion). We tried 2 different sterilisers with our son, both Tommee Tippee (the electric one which broke after a couple of weeks, but thats for a different review!) and the mircrowave one, so when I found out I was preganant with baby 2 we decided to go down the microwave steriliser route again (we had to buy a new one as had given the Tommee Tippee one away). I found the Avent Microwave Steriliser in Asda at a reduced price and as I have heard good things about ...  Read the complete review

This is a fab must have item! While breast feeding my little one I used this to sterillise the breast pump and the bottles for the expressed milk. Once I stopped breastfeeding it was used for her bottles. It is really easy to use, takes 6 minutes to sterillise which lasts for 24 hours. It came with two or three bottles, I think two were 4oz bottles and one was a 9oz bottles with 3 size one teats. It also came with two soothers (dummies), the brush, tongues, and some other little bits. Storing it is easy, I simply just leave it in the microewasve out of the way until I need it again. This one takes 6 bottles, with the lids ...  Read the complete review

Although I am breastfeeding our baby I do give her expressed milk if I go to church as I am in the church choir so can't feed while I'm wearing choristers' robes!! Therefore we needed a steriliser! It is important to use a steriliser until a baby is 12 months old especially for all utensils which contain milk, there is some train of thought that if it's pureed veg etc then, from 6 months, a hot dishwasher would suffice for those items only but that is something that should be discussed with your health visitor and, personally, we'll be going by the sterilising everything until they're 12 months as the guidelines suggest! After this age it is thought their gut ...  Read the complete review
