Is sterilizer really required?

You can use Ecomom UV sterilizer bottle
It's infomation here: UV sterilizer bottle

Uv weaken the bottle. Avoid.
Just use steam or hot water

Does it? I also UV toothbrush.

toothbrush u use 3 month then throw
milk bottle u use for 1 year

and milk bottle when weakened, plastic will go into milk and its for baby.

Steriliser is good, where you can dump bottles, utensils and bowls into it (then sterilise) after wash, keep them away from lizard or cockroaches.

The size of avent sterlilizer is not not able to cater the needs of 2 babies (all in).

Read somewhere need to change plastic bottles every 3-6months.

I'm sorry but everytime I hear any parents or non parents say things like expose them to bacteria cannot be too clean I feel like I'm gonna rage. Though this is 2016 post I'm still gonna rage because they are INFANTS. Every single genius who said that are saying it for their OWN CONVENIENCE. Cause taking precaution for INFANTS is tedious and takes a lot of discipline , time and energy.

Stay away from any parents who said such things and better yet few years later tell you "see my kid ok also" because they are a danger to other kids just like those who refuse to use baby seat, my kid still grow up what. Until they don't.

Back to topic...

Waterless UV sterilizer is good because you can put anything that fits into it including toys that cannot be steam, clothe or utensils etc.

i thought it is the other way around.
how water will melt the plastic and it will go into the milk.
a couple of youtubers mentioned it too.

Im use sunlight

the bottles are made with typically PP to withstand higher than 100C which is the steam temperature at sea level pressure. it will not melt or disintegrate. PP melting point is 160C.

UV will disintegrate the plastic, making it flaky. and some flakes may go into milk. a short burst using UVC lamp to kill heat resistant microbs is ok but not under the sun for long time.
do let me know if this is wrong.

thanks for explaining.

I've already shortlisted a couple of UV light sterilizer and discarded steam options.
Now I'll need to do more research on this matter first.

this good?

I have the coby. In times such as this (covid) i also use it to sterilise my phone, wallet, keys etc

It's recommended to use glass bottle, but it's heavier than pp bottle.
