Steriliser on Holiday

[mats01_99]

Hi all. As you're probably sick of hearing we're off to Portugal for a week with our 5month old at the weekend, are there any alternatives out there other thantaking the large steriliser with us. Somebody mentioned microwave sterilisers, apparently we have a microwave in the room so this could be ideal. Any suggestions?

When my son was a baby we went on holiday and to save space I bought some steriliser bags. However I still needed to transport all the bottles, bottle brush etc and found that the best place to pack them into was the steriliser!

How about just taking some milton tablets to sterilise in whatever facilities you have. You can get them in chemists and supermarkets.

When we went camping with our daughter who was 6 months old at the time I panicked for ages wondering how to sterilise her bottles- till I realised the simplest option is to just simply boil the bottles for a good 5 minutes.

This will also save you the hassle of having to take all the sterilising paraphernalia.

On my holidays I used sterilising tabs and took a tupperware type plastic box large enough to take a couple of bottles at a time. The box also came in useful to pack all the little bits and bobs I also took such as spoons, bottle brush, cup, jars of food etc.

Milton tablets in a saucepan or large bowl/basin! That's what I did for our daughter on holidays and even when we went away for weekends to family etc. They were around long before the electric sterilisers so I trusted them totally. Easy to carry too. Have a wonderful holiday - jealous as anything!!
