What is a good way to sterilize bottles/nipples?

Question

I’m a really young mom, so not a lot of money, but of course, I want my baby’s bottles to be clean. I’m just wondering if it’s worth buying a bottle sterilizer. If not, what is a good way to sterilize them?

Answer

I have never owned a bottle sterilizer, so I would say not worh it.  Either boil them or run through the dishwasher

Answer

Microwave steam steriliser

Answer

We didn’t use a sterilizer.  We boiled for the first use and then washed with hot water and soup after each use and once a week, ran boiled water over them.

Answer

I hear you can just put them in a boiling pot of water!

Answer

I very very rarely sterilize. There are only a few reasons you need to sterilize, for your average healthy baby you don’t need to. Brand new bottles, thrush, hand foot and mouth. For the thrush & hand foot and mouth you need to sterilize for 5 minutes in boiling water with vinegar. Otherwise an occasional pot of boiling water for 5 minutes is fine. 
If you had a preemie or other health issues then a sterilizer would be helpful

Answer

You can do it on the stove. We have a microwave steriliser.

Boil them or buy microwavable sterilising bags. PS. I personally don't even sterilise baby's bottles. She was not premmie and is not immime-comprimised.
