Baby Sterilizer: Must-Have Gadget for New Parents!

Are you a new parent or about to become one very soon? There is no more useful gadget than this for the first months with your baby. A baby sterilizer will make your life easier and give you peace of mind that your little one is feeding safely.

How will you choose the best one, though?

1. Capacity

The truth is that you need a large sterilizer with enough slots, since the need for sterilized baby bottles in the first months is great. A sterilizer for up to 6 baby bottles is suitable for one day’s needs.

However, a portable sterilizer will make your life easier, since you can take it with you anywhere to sterilize the pacifier, which more often than not will end up on the floor.

2. Sterilization speed

Time is precious, especially when you become a parent. That’s why it is important that the sterilizer you choose is fast and effective at the same time.

3. Steam function

Among the most "fast" and easy to use are the steam sterilizers, which do not use any chemicals at all, only water. You simply need to fill the sterilizer with water, place the items inside, and in a very short time your baby’s utensils are ready. Thanks to steam, you can place utensils made of any material, even breast pump accessories.

SkroutzTip: Let the sterilizer and the utensils cool down after steam sterilization, as they may become so hot that you cannot touch them with your bare hands.

4. Sterilization duration

Beyond speed, sterilization duration is also important to you. Especially if you need to be away from home and want several baby bottles ready sterilized for use. In that case, choose a sterilizer with preservation for up to one day.

5. Compatibility

An important factor before buying a sterilizer is whether it is compatible with the utensils you want to place inside (mainly baby bottles). So make sure that the device you choose is suitable for your baby’s utensils and accessories.

6. Safety

Finally, the factor of safety could not be missing, since we are talking about your baby, whom you want to care for as the apple of your eye. Be careful when choosing and prefer a sterilizer that states it does not contain chemicals that may affect or harm your baby’s health.
