How to choose a baby bottle sterilizer?

Cold or steam, microwave or electric... There are several models of sterilizers to remove bacteria from baby bottles, consequently limiting the risk of infection.


  • Before sterilizing a baby's bottle, make sure it's clean, washed with water, and dishwashing liquid or marseille soap.
  • You can cold sterilize the bottle by immersing it for 30 minutes in a special tray filled with water, in which you melt two tablets that are safe for the baby.
  • The electric sterilizer kills bacteria with its steam during a ten-minute program. It can hold up to nine bottles and often appeals to parents because of its ease of use.
  • Suitable for parents in a hurry and less bulky than the electric one, the microwave sterilizer is composed of a tray and a lid to replicate the oven system during five-minute cycles.

Is a bottle sterilizer a necessity? Or is putting in the dishwasher and steam drying it efficient enough?

I’m not sure. I’ve never done either. We’ve always boiled our bottles.
