Cold water sterilising

RaiderHammer

Looking at sterilisers now for our baby which is due soon.

Am I right in saying for cold water sterilisers we can place a tablet in the water which last for 24 hours? During this time we can open the lid and take bottles out and put other bottles in within the 24 hour period without changing the water or placing another tablet in the water?

So essentially use as many bottles you want with the same water and tablet for 24 hours and taking bottles out all day and putting new bottles in all day?

Do we have this right?

Thank you.

yes, you place all the bottles teats etc in, leave them for 30 mins, then remove. or you can leave them in until needed. if you add other bottles you then need to leave it all in for 30 mins.

Bit fishy if you ask me.

Seriously though, do try and get the support to start feeding. It's vastly cheaper, and you don't have to faff about sterilising.

And it really is up to the individual, whether to breast or bottle feed, no matter now loud you *cough* .

The cold water sterilisers are good and handy to use, I had a dual when when DD was little, I could either microwave it for 5 mins or doubled up as cold water.

Good luck with it all xx

The OP has not asked about breastfeeding the OP is asking about cold water sterilisers.

There could be any number of reasons why the OP is going use bottles and it is nobody's business but theirs.

It really is very annoying to have breastfeeding shoved down your throat by complete strangers who know nothing about the individual situation.

Well said!

We use milton tablets and it works really well. 15 minutes and it's done.

And de g, I breastfeed and give LO bottles. The two aren't mutually exclusive. In any case breastfeeding is HARD and it is up to the OP to choose.

Serioulsy though, do try to not interfere with how people feed their babies, it's vastly condescending and you don't have the slightest idea about OP's circumstances, wants or desires.

Here's a question about cold water sterilising, which I never found the answer to and which put me off using this method. When you take the bottles out do you rinse them in fresh water or use them smelling/tasting 'bleachy'?
