I am using Avent electronic steam sterilizer...i find it very useful..it's easy to use and it's really convenient....i am going to buy a microwave sterilizer as well...to use it when i go back to HK...any good recommendation for that?

我用緊 The First Year 的Microwave Sterilizer，可以裝到六個9oz的Avent bottles，價錢平Avent的一半。

唔明，乜水唔係一百度先變 Steam 咩？

Yeah. I've thought so too, but not sure, so I've done a bit of searching:

"...possible to have both liquid water and steam that exist at 100 degrees Celsius. While they both would exist at the same temperature, the steam would have a lot more heat energy due to the additional 540 calories per gram of heat energy that has been absorbed.  This is why steam burns are worse than the water burns. "

有香港網友介紹用 Food Steamer，幾好，第日唔洗再烚奶樽時可以用黎蒸送：






London Drugs 有得賣，Tefal係大牌子，信得過，只係$44.99，平過Avent三倍。

This is what I use, and it isn't expensive at all!  Very easy to use, and the time is set right, so your don't have to worry about how long your have to steam it, etc..!

I use Avent microwave bottle steamer...works excellent! (costs a bit when purchase new so shop around for used ones, wash it thoroughly and it'll be just as good as new).

It is so convenient to use that we even took it along with us while travelling back to HK last November...just can't live w/o it.

similar to this one:

i used this for my son too...but i only sterilized the bottles/nipples for first-time-use only..haha...then i never used the sterilizer again!

by the way, the nurses/doctors here all say that sterilization is not necessary unless you're afraid that washing with tap water might cause contamination..and for those parents who decided to sterilize, it is only necessary to sterilize for the first three months..

i only sterilized the new bottles/nipples..then i just use warm soapy water to wash the stuff after each use..and my baby has never been sick (he's 1 years old now). i just use tap water to wash the pumps, bottles and everything too...didn't even sterilize anything when i went back to HK either.

sterilization was only popular in the past because of the poor quality of the tap water..nowadays, our tap water might even be better than bottled water..@[email protected] don't see the need to sterilize my baby's stuff. also i'd rather have him exposed to the small bacteria and get him used to a normal everyday contaminants rather than to keep him in a "bubble"..because eventually he'll meet other kids, goto daycare, goto school..and if he was so protected, he might get sick too easily by small weak bacteria/viruses

ha..i'm a lazy mum but so far, my idea of 大菌食細菌 has worked

P.S. i got my sterilizer from value village...for $3 CAD! i've also found really good quality baby bottle warmers etc for $5..
it seems the richmond store has a lot of new parents donating stuff..a lot of the stuff is rarely used, almost brand new and complete..and they're about 1/10 of the price of a new thing...so you might want to check it out. i think i've also seen an electric sterilizer for about $20 there.
