Mothercare Bottle Steriliser

I had done a combination of breast and bottle feeding with my previous two children. This time I hoped to be mainly breast, with the occasional expressed bottle for when we went out. As we don't use dummies, we decided that having a steam steriliser was not of the utmost importance, as it only saves about 15 minutes time compared to cold, costs more at the initial outlay, plus the energy expenditure (trying top think green) at each use. The decision was therefore made to purchase a Mothercare 6 bottle cold water sterilser. It came with a styarter pack of 12 tablets, as well as 6 bottles and teats. For 99 pence we purchased an extra 100 tablets. It ...  Read the complete review

As one of these Mums who planned everything meticulously I planned on breastfeeding and only bought the 4 bottle sterilser for dummies and things. Little did I know that at 4 days post-partum I woul be screaming to my partner to go to the 24 hour shop for baby milk! Due to the sudden change in plans I very much wish I had forked over the extra 6 quid for the 6 bottle steriliser. The 4 bottle is only £29. It does not matter so much now that my son only has 4 bottles a day but when he was younger, when he was going through lots of little bottles it was tiresome only being able to sterilise 3/4 bottles at a time. I certainly recommend the steriliser ...  Read the complete review

My Mothercare steam steriliser blew up a few months ago (we'd had it for 2 years and stored it in a damp garage while out of use, so probably our fault!). So we got a new one, and were pleasantly surprised to find they had modified it, for the better. The steriliser now has a lockable lid, so that it can't be knocked off or taken off by a child. Very good idea. Also, if you take the basket out, you can no longer see the hotplate at the bottom, there is plastic which is much easier to clean. The larger steriliser, which we have, will comfortably take 4 wide necked bottles plus rings/teats/lids (I believe it takes 6 standard bottles etc). It also ...  Read the complete review

The Mothercare microwave steriliser holds four bottles and is really easy to use. You simply put your bottles in, put some water in and put it in the microwave for eight minutes on full power. You have to let it stand for a further two minutes then they are ready to use. I found this steriliser very easy to use as you didn't need to buy anything extra (like tablets) plus the fact that it is very quick. Im not sure what the difference is between the different makes but this is the cheapest on the market and I cant see what you would be paying the extra money for. I bought this steriliser when my fist baby was born and my second baby is now ...  Read the complete review

I bought Boots own steam steriliser and can't praise it enough. It takes 6 bottles at a time and you can fit in both standard size and the slightly wider size. It comes with some teat tongs (which I admit I never used) and is dead easy to use. You just put the required amount of water in the bottom, load everything in and switch it on. It only takes about 8 minutes and everything is ready. As my son got older I used to put in his weaning spoons and bowls as well. You need to clean it out every now and then using sterilising sachets and again this is really easy. Definitely a good buy. ...  Read the complete review
