There are many products on the market today to sterilize baby bottles, but which one is the best, and how do you choose? The answer comes down to personal choice. A couple questions you may want to ask yourself when you are looking at purchasing a sterilizer are:

1) How much do I want to spend,

2) and how quickly do I need them to be done?

Prices on various sterilizers can be as inexpensive as $25 on up to $100. But, as with a lot of products, sometimes it is the brand you are paying for and not the performance.

For faster sterilization, you may want to consider a model that utilizes your microwave. The electrical sterilizers can take a little longer to heat the water into steam. Both are just as effective as long as the temperature reaches a level to kill germs and bacteria.

The last thing you may want to consider is this, do I really need a sterilizer? Many physicians will tell you that as long as you are washing your baby’s bottles with hot and soapy water a sterilizer is not needed. In the US our water is cleansed through water filtration plants, coming into our homes contaminant free. And while we do not want to purposely feed our infants things that are harmful, germs are a part of building up their immune system.

So which sterilizer is best for your baby bottles? The answer lies on the shelves of many retail stores, choose one that you feel will meet your families needs.
