Sterilising MAM bottles abroad
Show your support
@Marina ahh thank you but I’d rather not it’s massive and we’ll have enough to take as it is! Trying to keep everything as easy and lightweight as possible 😅😅
@Stacey I’ve found a small container you can buy specifically for using these whilst on the go but my question is whether you can use water straight from the tap to sterilise with when abroad as these tablets need water, same as the portable sterilising plastic bags you can microwave. Think I’m going to have another google! Thank you x
It should be fine. The steam is what does the sterilizing, not the water. Anything in the water stays in the water because it’s too heavy to go into the steam. This is pretty much how distilled water is made: by collecting steam. If you don’t let the bottles touch the water, the tap should be fine to sterilize. You just need a sterilizer or you can steam on the stove. There are cheap sterilizers that you can use in the microwave.
I'm planning to just sterilise the MAM bottles in the microwave when we go on holiday but thinking of using bottled water instead of tap. Although I'd say it depends where you're going, in Europe tap water is fine to drink so would be fine to sterilise with too x
Yup we used the tap water for the Milton tablets and using in the munchkin sterilising bags in the Microwave
Cold water sterilising x
@Eileen thank you I think so too!
@Galina I think I’ll use the microwave too it’s the easiest way x
@Natalia I was wondering whether you can use the tap water for cold water sterilising though. I think it’s safe after having another look online although I’ll probably use the microwave x
Hmm I’m planning on getting this uv portable steriliser for when we go abroad https://amzn.eu/d/9Pu7074. So maybe something like this would work for u?
