Bottle sterilizing...

Do you really need a bottle sterilizer? How else can you sterilize bottles?

I keep arguing with my mother about the type of bottle we're going to use. I keep saying we're not sure yet, we want to try a few of them. But she INSISTS on us using the disposable Playtex one's. She's really giving me a hard time about this. She can't believe that we might want to use regular bottles that you have to sterilize.

AAAAaaaaaaahhh!!!

I didn't buy a sterilizer (they want $50 and over for some of them) -- I just put them in a big pot and sterilize them that way. I did buy the thing that goes in the pot so that I can pull them out and drain the water all at once instead of one by one (it has a name, but I have no clue -- it's $9.99 in BRU and it's by Especially for Baby).

I use the Avent bottles and Gianna loves them. I tried the Dr. Brown's and Evenflo and she hated both of them. So I have a cabinet full of brand new bottles that won't be used!!

just boil them up in a big pot..and buy a new pair of tongs so you can pull them out....

BTW we use playtex and it's true- they are easy to use...but u have to try out all types until find one u like. we were lucky I guess since we only had the playtex and she loves them
