已經第二次啦，用煲烚奶樽唔記得睇火，今次最嚴重，唔單只煲乾水，奶樽仲溶埋，要買過批新既，屋入面Ｄ溶膠味成個禮拜成散得七七八八，真係又內疚又擔心影響ＢＢ健康，我仲為此喊左一場。

諗左好耐，終於決定買Microwave Milk Bottle Sterilizer，唔洗睇火，四分鐘攪掂。本來想搵個用電既 Steamer，不過只搵到 The First Year出既，而且成七十蚊，好貴。又擔心唔知 Microwave Sterilizer會唔會對ＢＢ唔好，雖然依家仲用緊，但心大心細想買Steamer。

唔知有無人都係用Microwave Sterilizer呢？又或者用Steamer?可唔可以分享下？

Sounds scary...fire hazard...

I haven't heard of any health hazard with using the microwave sterilizer yet.  However, I wouldn't use one if I were you.  I try to avoid using the microwave for anything for babies.  If I really need a steamer, I'll just buy it and forget about the cost.  There's well spent money and wasted money, buying a steamer for the baby should not fall into the 2nd category imo....

我都想係美國訂部steamer，唔知可唔可以係美國 Toys R Us訂？佢地比唔比我咁做？

可唔可以用煮食用既 electronic steamer 黎sterilize milk bottles?
作者: 華美子    時間: 2008-2-11 17:09

網上有人教用蒸食物既電蒸煲黎烚奶樽，價錢平 electronic steam sterilizer 差唔多一倍，而且第日唔洗再烚奶樽時可以用黎蒸下燒賣雞包之類食物。

唔知好唔好。

ummm...from a scientific point of view...i still think the best way is to boil the bottles...just need to be more careful

steam is not the same as vapour....meaning that steam does not have a temperature of 100 degreesC....although most of the bacteria will be killed....it never hurts to be more careful

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。

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。

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.

i just bought the avent microwave sterilizer today..it's $49.99...and i tried to use tonight, it's quite nice....i bought it because i have to bring it back to HK...it's so light and easy to use...don't have to aware of the voltage.....(compared with the electronic sterilizer)
作者: Quest    時間: 2008-2-14 13:35

koala:

2 words of advise (I own and use 2 Avent microwave steriliser on rotation so I know):

1)Make sure you add 7oz (approx. 210ml) of water before you steam it.
2) be careful about microwave wattage before you use it: e.g. check the back panel to confirm the wattage before you set the microwave settings.

Recall that for 700Watts approx. 11mins; for 110watts, about 4mins.

Take care and have a safe trip home.

My family doctor told me, it is not necessary to sterilize the bottles anymore after 3 months.  It's because the baby already "eats his/her fingers" at around 3 months and his/her hands touch all kind of stuff, so their hands are full of all kind of germs.  He/she is already accustomed with the germs.  so all we need to do is clean the bottles.  Now my son is 6 months, and i haven't sterilized bottles for long time.  He is still doing fine.

Seriously you don't want your baby at this age to ingest radiation for your convenience.

Sorry, I have no intention to offense,


Maybe their wavelength is too long that a cloth can block it off, but when the baby is ingesting it it's a totally different story.  Those radiation are the most harmful.
作者: Quest    時間: 2008-2-14 18:17

radiation from microwaved water? Gimme a break! What on earth are you referring to? Alpha? Beta? Gamma ray?

Microwave is just high power radio signal that excites the molecules to bombard each other faster, thus generating heat (or heat up the food). The moment you cut off the power source, molecules will stop bombarding.

If you are one of those conspiracy therorists then you may disregard my scientific explanation.

Afterall, what else is new under the sun these days?!?

*sarcastic grin*

作者: chobit    時間: 2008-2-14 21:33

Yeah...u should read more about microwave before making such un-educated (False) comments.  However, I don't suggest using microwave for many other reasons.  In the case of using microwave sterilizer, there is currently a study about how heat may make the plastic bottle releasing higher amount of toxic.  Microwave seems to be the worst method on that list.

I had a friend lost her limb due to accident from microwave related to normal heating.
She had a wound b4 the incident and the stuff from microwave spilled on her old wound. wound got worse the next day, and then her whole limb needs to be removed.
Yeah of course it is a non-ionizing decay and thus none of the alpha, beta and gamma ray above.

a rock-solid face doesn't have to be proved by a rock scientist. IT just happens Mr. civilized.

say it a false comment or whatever, but it happens, and 1 time is enough

作者: daimo    時間: 2008-2-16 21:34

on top, I'll only apply heat to GLASS bottles;

microwave, steam, hot water ... I won't use any of that to touch plastic.

even if the manufacturer says it's ok, I don't trust them.

Just my opinion.
