Boots Steri-Bottles

Lets face it… whether you use a cold water steriliser, an electric or microwave steriliser or use the old-fashioned method of boiling the bottles and teats for however long you have to, preparing bottles takes time. Guidelines now say that it is best to prepare each feed as your baby needs it. So add on top of the sterilising the time it takes for boiled water to cool to the perfect temperature to add the powdered formula milk, then the time it takes to cool the hot water to a temperature suitable for baby and you’ll probably end up with a baby screaming with hunger! Plus sterilising one bottle every time your little one needs a feed can mean you could be ...  Read the complete review

The Boots pre-sterilised bottle sort of worked for me, in that they came in handy on a trip to London for Christmas. However, despite the fact that they are lightweight, take the pain from sterilising and make it easier to travel, I have very mixed feelings about them. They come in a box of four, which means if you are buying several bottles for, say, a holiday, you?re buying a lot of bulky material. One shopping trip to buy these bottles, saw me and my husband crouched by our pushchair outside Boots, taking the bottles out of the boxes and packing them into a carrier bag in order to carry them more easily. This brings me onto my next point. Packing. If ...  Read the complete review

I got a voucher in Mother & Baby magazine for a Free pack of 4 Boots Steri-bottles (a new product from Boots) so I thought that I would give them a try. Boots Steri-bottles are ready to use, pre-sterilised, single use feeding bottles. They are suitable from birth and are supplied with medium flow teats that are a cross between a standard and a wide teat. They are available in two sizes and the idea is that you can use the bottle once and then throw it away which is ideal for travelling or for use in an emergency. This all sounds very good in practice, so as my son usually uses Avent bottles, I thought I would "road test" one of these bottles ...  Read the complete review

I had a coupon for a free Boots Steri-bottle in the pack I received from the hospital. I never used it because to be honest I thought these bottles were a complete rip off. I mean who is going to pay for a bottle that has to be thrown away afterwards? Anyway, that was before the day that there was a communication breakdown in the Flynn household. There we were in the middle of town with Ciaran screaming blue murder, when Mr F and I had a discussion about who had forgot to put a bottle in the changing bag. What were we to do? Ciaran was not impressed, usually at the stage of going purple; a bottle was seconds away – but not today! I ...  Read the complete review

Once again the whole family was out shopping and we lost total track of the time. Well that was until baby Emilys tummy started rumbling for her evening bottle and of course she let us know the only way she could by screaming and screaming. I started to curse myself that I didnt pick up her bottle on the way out but I just didnt expect to be out this late.Oh well, I thought, I will just have to go in Boots and buy another bottle that I dont really need and waste even more of my precious pennies. Looking along the row of bottles for the cheapest, my eyes spied something called Steri-Bottles. These are a brilliant idea and are actually ready to use ...  Read the complete review
