I feel like she sticks everything in her mouth after it drops on the floor anyway..... so why am I going to waste my time boiling nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298582 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:43:11 +0000 Mrsbells 298582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!<br /> @Chastenet: Lol you totally should sell it or return it if you can@MungBean: Wow multiple times a day?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298264 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:55:02 +0000 Chastenet 298264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I have never used it. Come to think of it, I just sterilized my pump before using it for the first time and I totally forgot that I had the sterilizer and just boiled it in a pot...Maybe I should sell the sterilizer on ebay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298177 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:19:39 +0000 luckypenny 298177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it the first month but quickly stopped after that. I'll sterilize new bottles once but that's all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298131 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:48:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 298131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Philips Avent four in one sterilizer that I use multiple times a day.

Periodically, I'll through the bottles in the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298065 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:08:13 +0000 looch 298065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did and I used it for almost 8 months. It was more of a place to keep our bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298062 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:06:21 +0000 Andrea 298062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I didn't feel like it was necessary. We sterilize in a pot of boiling water, the dishwasher, and disinfect with white vinegar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-sterilizer#post-298050 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 08:58:32 +0000 Mrsbells 298050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering how many people own one. MY baby is nearly 5 months old and we dont have a sterilizer, every now and then I place her nipples and bottles in boiling water for a few minutes but I dont sterilize every day.<br /> I also dont want to place the bottles in the microwave, so I dont like the microwave sterilizers. Do you have a sterilizer? are you happy with it? </p>
