Before you start, thoroughly wash the bottles, rings and teats and leave them to dry. Here are the methods you can use to sterilise:
Electric steamers sterilise bottles in 8-12 minutes, leaving no unpleasant smell or taste.
Some bottles can be sterilised in the microwave. Or you can buy a steriliser that fits in your microwave.
Submerge all equipment in boiling water for five minutes.
Sterilisation tablets take around 30 minutes and are highly effective.
Fill the bottles with cooled boiled water and store them in the fridge; or
Leave the bottles in sterilising solution until next time; or
Store on the bench covered with protective cap.
