Very ConvenientFriday, May 13, 2005
This sterilizer is a time saver. As a parent of a baby, time is teh one thing you need the most. I would invest on this item.
Just put in the microwave for 4 minutes. Then let it cool for 2, and then use the items when you need them.
Good product, but not really necessaryWednesday, May 11, 2005
This product is easy to use, works well and is FAST . . . and everyone knows that time is precious is a new baby. I use Advent bottles & pacifiers and they fit perfect as do all the parts to my Medela breast pump. I don't use the sterilizer every time anymore since my daughter is a little older now. I run the bottles & pacifiers though the dishwasher so I feel comfortable with the heat they get from that. This sterilizer is great though as it is very light weight and easy to store in between uses. It's up to you & your doctor whether you need a sterilizer, but if you do decide to get one, definitely get this one.
Great for SOME people, not really needed for othersTuesday, May 10, 2005
My almost 4 month old son is VERY small (24th percentile!) so the doctor recomended me buying a sterelizer, in other cases careful scrubing and just putting the bottles in the dishwasher would do, and it can save you some trouble. but for those people who need or really want a sterelizer, this ones great. Its much less expensive than the other sterelizers that take over all your counter space! It cleans my bottles very well, and I use mostly avent by the way. It can also sterelize my 2 1/2 year olds "magic cups" after he gets over a virus or if he had milk (another product by avent). It is fairly simple to use and much less stressful than boiling water, in my opinion. It also comes with 4 bottles, although my house is a bottle factory as it is! This sterelizer can also be used as a drying rack if needed. I love this sterelizer and it has kept my small son very healthy, happy and playful!
Great for babies with thrushSaturday, April 30, 2005
This sterilizer is great...not too big but definitely not too small. It holds (4) 4 oz. bottles or (4) 9 oz. bottles. Not to mention there are great little grooves so that you know everything is in there the right way. It is also great for the Isis breast pump parts. I used it daily while my baby was nursing and even now that she is 7 months old. We had a pretty bad case of thrush which the Dr. said was most likely coming from the pumped bottles I was doing for her. The dishwasher was not cutting it obviously when it came to sterilizing for my baby. We bought this steam sterilizer and within a matter of 2-3 days the thrush was completely gone and never came back. I highly recommend it. Although I don't find it completely necessary for it to include the (2) 9 oz. bottles with it...seeing as if you are using this you most likely already have bottles. GREAT STERILIZER!!!!
Go anywhere with itTuesday, April 26, 2005
I bought this sterilizer because I was using Avent bottles. I use it daily, and I even took it on our trip to Florida. Its been over 6 months now, and I would not do without it. It is convenient, easy to clean, and I would recommend it for anyone who plans to use Avent bottles, or any other brands.
