All about sterilizers, bottle warmers

[chubbycheeks]

^ i'm using Chicco too. Can't say kung magtibay since I just started to use it this week. But i like how easy and simple it is to use.

I'm using The First Years electric steam sterilizer. i got it based on the good reviews I read online. Ok siya kasi easy to use and adjustable ang rack niya. Maraming bottles ang pweding ilagay pati parts ng breastpump and small toys kasya. You can also remove the rack if sobrang dami mo talagang kailangan sterilize. I use avent natural bottles pero kahit anong brand siguro ng bottle kakasya.

Will go for chicco sterilizer, too. It's large compared to other brands that we've seen within the same price range. The review is generally ok naman. Sa ilang malls, may free bottle pa.

Bought tommy tippee bottles and The First Years, anong sterilizer ang kasya ang ibang brand ng feeding bottles?

[daisy_duck]

Bought Chicco sterilizer yesterday, sayang! wala nang free bottle..

^I bought Avent and Tommee Tippee bottles too and by the looks of it, kasya naman cya sa Chicco. I havent tried using it though coz sa January pa due ko.

until what age ba dapat naka sterilizer?

[sachism]

We used Avent electric sterilizer for my panganay for 2.5 yrs until she was weaned from the bottle. I also sterilized breast pump parts there. But for her eating utensils and during travels, we just used hot water.

I didnt use bottle warmer. Thaw sa tap water lang then sa hot water.

Its been 5 yrs, I plan to use it sa second child namin. I will have to take it out of the storage to check if its still working.

Re drying, after the bottles cooled down a bit, we put them in a separate covered container (lock in lock) with wash cloth to dry. We didnt use drying rack kasi prone to dust.

I have dr. brown's electric stream sterilizer. seems to be working perfectly fine. big enough for my dr. brown bottles and avent. pwede rin breastpumps and other items that needs to be sterilized.

^  How much yan?  I'm planning to give this as wedding gift sana.  Not particular with brands, basta steriliser.

[_AiaH_]

^ hi sis, 5499 sya sa SM baby company. Pero naka-sale, 4300 or 4600 nalang yata. ok talaga sya, malaki sya enough to fit almost all type ng bottles. kasi diba yung wide neck ng dr. brown's is like one of the biggest sized bottles sa market. bigger than avent natural kaya kasyang kasya. it isn't too bulky either to occupy a lot of space. kasya kasi 6 wide neck dr brown bottles. so if standard bottles, 8 kasya.

i've looked for other sterilizers narin kasi, fisher price, looney tunes, chicco, avent, e maliliit na bottles kasi sila kaya di kasya si dr. brown. avent is okay, kaso si standard bottle inside avent 3-in-1 hindi pasok yung height. mataas masyado si standard bottle ni brown for avent sterilizer so I chose brown nalang para fit lahat hehe.

how much pala yung looney tunes at sesame st. sterilizer/dryer?

yung looney tunes multifunction ba may dryer na din? magkano rin kaya yun?

hindi pa kasi ako makalabas. gusto ko na nga magshopping pero bawal pa mapagod.

Two years ago nasa P2,800 ang Looney Tunes, very useful siya lalo na kung breastmilk lalagay mo kasi may dryer. I have chico din pero mas okay ang Looney Tunes kasi di ko na kailangang i dry up pag magsasalin ako ng BM.

[euwie]

We have Dr Brown's as well for sterilizer. Ok nga sya kasi parang maski anong shape ilagay mo basta kasya ok lang. May space pa for small parts. For bottle warmer, we have yung sa babies r us lang. So far so good naman, it serves its purpose. Walang drama drama

mga sis parehas lang ba ang electric sterilizer sa steam sterilizer? if not, what's the difference? tia.

[_AiaH_]

^ electric steam sterilizer sis. oo, same lang. may mga sterilizers kasi na using steam but not electric. like farlin manual steam sterilizer. traditional kaldero at pakulo tubig but still, steam parin ang method nya of sterilization.

[nicoletta]

Chico sterilizer so far reliable for me.  Magagamit ko pa talaga kasi mukha namang matibay and hindi rin expensive.

[gemwin21]

^^thanks sis aiah. Mas tipid ba ang electric sterilizer compared sa traditional pakulo sa kaldero mga sis.?!

[_AiaH_]

^ yup. mas aksaya sa gas kasi and matagal ang process kapag pakulo ka pa. delikado pa kapag nalimutan mo nagpapakulo ka. sterilizers go for 6-12minutes run time. i do it once a day.

[gemwin21]

^ahkei. Thanks for the tip sis.

Avent yung sa amin. Gamit namin sya since newborn palang anak ko.

Almost 3 1/2 years old na anak ko ngayon and ginagamit pa din namin sterilizer nya.

[tintin19]

Before binababad lang namin bottles sa mainit na tubig, but since babalik na ko sa work at hassle na yun, decided to get the Looney Tunes Multipurpose & Rapid steam sterilizer yesterday.. Yung may bottle warmer, food warmer, egg boiler and juicer. Got it at yellow tag price p1,430 sa SM babyco.

It fits 6 regulag bottles, 5 kapag Avent wideneck bottles. So far satisfied naman ako for its price. Hopefully in the future pag nagsosolids na si baby eh masulit ng gamit yung other functions nya.

EDIT: after 1 week use, nag-stain agad yung heating plate... ganun ba talaga ka-bilis? tas may nakita pa akong kalawang the size of a dot! ano po ba tamang paraan ng paglinis ng heating plate? pwede pa kaya ipa-replace eto?
