Hot or cold water sterilising?

I guess look into and share the chemical components and safety compliance the companies need to follow? As they cannot randomly put bleach in baby stuff!

There’s no bleach in Milton sterilising tablets. In fact before they changed their guidance recently you didn’t need to rinse off the residue after cold water sterilising at all. I’ve just used my cold water steriliser for a week away and it was no different for our baby! My mum used cold water steriliser for me when I was a baba and I turned out ok (I think 🤣). We use a tommee tippee UV steriliser at home and have had no issues with that either xx

We use the Tommy Tippee steam steriliser. So easy to use. Just put everything in once washed, press a button and it’s done in about 10 mins. We went for steam steriliser for the same reason as didn’t want use Milton but everyone is different. X

We used Miltons because it was cheaper and it’s used in hospitals (says google), i always rinse the bottles with boiled water so he wasn’t actually taking in any of the Miltons water.
Never had any problems and would 100% use again

We use a uv sterliser, I hate the smell of Milton. My baby won't drink her milk if we use the cold water method x

I found my cold water steriliser bucket really easy last time and baby was perfectly fine with any 'bleach' leftovers from the steriliser tablets

We loved our cold water steriliser, honestly the easiest way to do it! However, depending on the bottles/dummies you are deciding to use, some will just go in the microwave, that’s what we did when the bottles were small enough to fit in the microwave, that was an incredibly easy way of doing it and it’s no ‘chemicals’, just heat. If you plan on using breastmilk and wanting to pump, then lots of pumps are only advised to either boil in a pan, which is time consuming, or to use a cold water steriliser. The same as the nuby rapid cool, that can only be done in a cold water steriliser and submerged for max.15 mins (the min recommended sterilisation time). So sometimes there’s no getting away from not using it x

Milton is bleach, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't use it, it's a very effective steriliser

We used to use milton cold steriliser on the paediatric ward with babies when I was a student nurse and I used it with my first and will with my second. I really don’t think this would be used in a hospital with at risk babies if it was unsafe

I feel it’s unnecessary to purchase a separate appliance to sterilize bottles. I just used my dishwasher and it worked fine. If you have a dishwasher, that’s definitely the easiest method of cleaning. I personally would not use any chemical sterilizing agents either, I just don’t trust that things won’t leech into the baby’s milk. Just because something is safe doesn’t mean that it’s healthy

I use Milton cold water, you can leave bottles in there for 24 hours. I’ve had no problems with it at all.
