How do you sterilise bottles abroad? I breastfeed Ruby but I also express and give her a bottle so her daddy can have a turn. Indie was a toddler when we first took her abroad so I didn't have to sterilise bottles I could just rinse her cup out. Our hotel room doesn't have a microwave just a fridge, well mini bar which i guess will be chilled. Any tips appreciated x
@jamelauk, thanks I actually just came across this and looks like it would be ideal for the hotel room x
@sarahbcjm, she's not formula fed just breastfed only use bottles for expressed milk xx
I use a cold water Milton bucket their £15 from mothercare and £3 for the tables, u will just have to go get bottled water when u get their I don’t use powder milk I use ready made so I just get my bottles out and pour in the ready made milk and it’s done for her to drink xx
@zoe.d84 i use medela, their bottle's aren't bulky and as your not taking to many bottles i would say just get this Milton Solo Traveller Steriliser, you can cold and warm sterilise in it and pop all the pump pieces that need sterilising in it at the same time i reckon x
Throw in a Milton tablet in boiled water in a bowl for 30mins. I actually did that at home once our sterilizer broke. And whenever we went away.
@mamaofzuri, we're away 5 days I use medela bottles and pump to express. Think I've got about 6 bottles altogether but don't plan on taking all of them with me.
I boiled some water and poured it over the bottles, tits etc at least 3 times. Worked quite well :)
You can also cold sterilse if you buy the tablets/ solution, can't remember what there called but boot's, superdrugs etc sell them
They are pre sterilised bottles and teats, you do have to buy them separately but they are easy to use when abroad, you can reuse them but only if they are sterilised again
@mamaofzuri, no they don't have microwaves there's a kettle in the room though. Not expressing isn't an option I will seriously burst if I don't, I express everyday x
As she's only 2 months your best just ordering them off ebay or amazon as shops like boot's only sell large bottles (tomee tippee). Online you can find the smaller one's that they provide in hospitals
Oh well it be perfect then coz u can put all your bits in it aswell xx
