Sterilizer for Dr. Brown bottles?

Can anyone tell me what is a good sterilizer to get with Dr. Brown bottles?. I have the regular and wide neck bottles.

Hey - I've heard those are the BEST bottles - do you have a pic or can you tell me where you got them?

I use Dr. Browns as well. They have them at Babies R Us, Walmart, I'm sure all of the baby places.

What is the difference between the regular bottle and the wide neck. I mean obviously the difference is the shape of the neck, but what difference does it make for baby?

I used a microwave sterilizer for the initial use. I then use the dishwasher every night to clean them. I bought a dishwasher bottle holder and put all the attachments in there to clean. I use the little brush to clean the brown thingy after it runs through the dishwasher. Hope that helps.

I registered for them at Babies R Us.

They are the best, I think - I've used them since the beginning and my 6 month old has never had so much as a gas pain. I did the same, boiled them at first, then washed them in the dishwasher, which sterilizes them due to the high heat.

I don't have these yet but I registered for them. My understanding is that if you are breastfeeding, you should get the wide-neck bottles because they are closest to what the baby is used to. If you are formula feeding, then the regular bottles are fine.

The regular dr brown's attach to the medela breast pump. It helps if you are pumping. The wide neck bottles do not. I really don't know or understand what the difference is between the two. I have the original ones, but I've been curious about the wide neck bottles.
