Sterilisers
While busy nesting and preparing for the arrival Luke all those months ago, me and Mum had many a discussion about sterilisers. She was all for the old fashioned Milton cold water sterilisers and I was not. God no, I couldn't be dealing with the hassle of emptying and refilling that with water every day and then I'd also have to buy the sterilising tablets, nevermind the smell from it!
So off I trotted to get my Avent microwave steriliser, 2minutes and they were done, ping, sat in the microwave until I needed them. Smugly I perched it on the counter top ready for use.
Ugh boy was I regretting it a few weeks in! Unless I wanted to have the microwave on the go all day, I had to wait until I could fill the steriliser with 4 bottles and then put it on. If I wanted to take out one bottle it meant the rest wold only remain sterilised for 24 hours, so if I went to get a bottle after that amount of time I would need to re sterilise them. Not to mention that I really didn't think 2 minutes in the microwave was really giving them a good sterilising session.
So after lots of "I told you so's" from the Mothership off I went and got myself exactly what she had recommended from the start! So much easier, I can just pop the bottles in once I'm done and take them out as I need them...and the smell has actually grown on me! (Luke not so much, the face he pulls when he first tastes the milton teat is quite funny!)
