The information on this page applies to the following models: SCF286/01 , SCF286/02 , SCF287/02 , SCF287/01 , SCF284/02 , SCF285/01 , SCF284/01 . These tend to be more roomy than the cup model, with the best fitting two bottles in at a time, and able to be reused around 20 times per bag. The instructions are printed on each bag and there’s also a tick chart so you can keep track of how many times the bag has been used. If you'd rather have the plug-in version this appliance is also available as an electric steriliser.

This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only. The steriliser has a smart design that takes up little space in your kitchen, yet still fits six Philips Avent Bottles or two Philips Avent Breast Pumps. Stacking both compartments gives you room for everything – bottles, breast pump bits, teats and all the extras so you can sterilise everything in one go.

As well as baby bottles, teats and breast pump parts, you'll also want to steriliser dummies and teething rings, ideally once a day unless they are dropped on the floor outside. Place all of the parts on the top rack of your dishwasher (only use a mild washing-up liquid or tablet). This advanced steriliser makes sure you always have a sterile bottle on hand by keeping contents sterile for 24 hours.

It's advised you continue to sterilise feeding equipment for your baby's first year while they're developing their immune systems and at their most vulnerable to illnesses, bacteria and parasites. The MAM self-sterilising bottles were great as we don't have to have a separate steriliser and can sterilise them at family's houses if needed. Sterilising is all about protecting your baby from particularly harmful milk bacteria until his immune system is strong enough.Not bulky, doesn't rely on electricity so it's great not to keep unplugging other appliances as we only have five sockets on our worktop. With an innovative vented teat, they're great for preventing colic by limiting the air that your baby swallows while they feed. With no need for steam, tablets or a microwave, this innovative UV steriliser from Nuby is a game-changer.
