Lindam Universal Steam Steriliser

Pregnancy presents a couple with lots of choices, it can often be quite confusing and I'm not just talking about which products are better than others, naturally that's important but it's the decisions that have to be made before products even enter the frame that I'm talking about. One of the choices that was quickly solved for me was in regards to feeding my children, while I was well aware of the benefits of breast feeding it was something I was simply not able to do, so I knew it would be bottles and formula for my little ones, this is where the product problems came in though, knowing I'd need to sterilise the bottles I had to choose which method and which product ...  Read the complete review

When our eldest son was a baby, we had a microwavable steriliser. It was flawed for a few reasons; 1, after being used for a few months, the plastic started to warp, the lid didn't fit well and excess steam could escape during sterilisation, therefore making the process less effective. 2. As the plastic softened, it became scratched and unhygienic. 3. You had to physically handle it to get it out of the microwave after it had finished- I lost count of the number of times I was scalded by steam. So when we were pregnant this time round, we opted for a stand alone steam steriliser. We chose the Lindam Universal Steriliser, basically because it was on offer ...  Read the complete review

I was very, very determined to breast feed exclusively this time. As part of this determination, I had not bought any bottle feeding equipment nor formula before or around the time the baby was born. I did, for exactly 3 weeks; but with the baby failing to gain and then actually losing weight despite spending large part of the day and night latched on the breast we were advised to and decided to start expressing and also offer formula top-ups. Thus I bought an Avent breast pump (which also contains two bottles). Then I promptly boiled it all away into a plastic pulp. This was an obvious sign that a more idiot and tiredness proof method of sterilisation was ...  Read the complete review

As my little boy will be 1 next week (how time flies!) I no longer use my sterliser but over the last 12 months it has served me well and I have had no significant problems with it. The steriliser I am talking about is the Lindam Universal Steam Steriliser. I bought it from my local Argos for £19.99 last September but it is now £24.99 (I always thought they lowered prices but anyhow). When sterilisng babies bottles and other items that need to be kept clean there are a number of options. These are 1) Steam sterilising. These units are very simple to use, they do get very hot though and they are not always suitable for all baby items - read on ...  Read the complete review

I got this steriliser from Argos for £19.99, the cheapest electric steam steriliser in there, I knew that I definitely wanted to get an electric steam one because they are so much easier to work and they are very hygienic. You can get microwave steam 1's but that just didn't appeal to me. Look its white all over and blue on the button and teat tray, the button is on the front about an inch up from the bottom my 1 has a clear lid unlike the 1 in the picture which looks white to me, the cord for the plug is on the back and does not stretch very far at all, inside it at the bottom you have an inner tray which you put the bottles on and this also ...  Read the complete review
