Baby Brezza Baby Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer Machine – Electric Steam Sterilization - Universal Fit - Pacifiers, Glass, Plastic, and Newborn Feeding Bottles

Product Information

Parents in our What to Expect community love the speed of this sterilizer — it can sterilize bottles in just two minutes, assuming your microwave's power is between 1200 and 1850 watts. Jennifer also has extensive experience teaching Maternity and Obstetric Nursing, as well as Pediatrics Nursing. We love that you can place nipples in the top rack with rings and lids already on for quick assembly once they've been sterilized. Several What to Expect staff members have also used the Medela sterilizer bags, including Stephanie Porter, Creative Director.

Brown’s bottles (I had heard that feeding specialists recommend them), and it’s designed to fit them with room to spare; the 8-ounce bottles are too tall to fit in some other sterilizers. Many moms now own a mixture of plastic and glass bottles, which makes it important to have a sterilizer that can handle both. As a traveling parent, I found this little sterilizer to be incredibly convenient for sterilizing my little one's bottles and pump parts. For moms who don’t want to spend extra time drying sterilized bottles, the Baby Brezza sterilizer is a good solution. One drawback, however, was that I had to manually dry the bottles after the cycle, which could compromise the sterilization process.It can also be used to warm baby food, and has an automatic shutoff feature that’ll prevent overheating. Consider what types of bottles the sterilizer allows, whether shape, size, or material, and if you have to accommodate a lid for sterilization. With one of the fastest sterilization cycles on the market—just five minutes—the Tommee Tippee Advanced Steam Electric Sterilizer is ideal for busy parents.

Before you pop anything into your sterilizer though, check the manual for both the sterilizer and the breast pump to ensure it’s safe. What the reviews say: Some reviewers note it’s difficult to fill the water tank without spilling and that the temperature settings can be imprecise, but others think its two-in-one design wins the day. If you want something with no-fuss, easy to use, and great for on-the-go, try the Medela steam bags for all of your bottle sterilizing needs. What to Expect community members swear by these Medela steam bags for bottles and pump parts on-the-go — so much so that they voted for them as the Best Bottle Sterilizer in our Feeding Awards last year. You won’t be able to protect your baby from everything out there, but you can absolutely take steps to make sure they aren’t drinking germs along with their milk.

The sterilizer itself can also be used with different bottle brands, and has a one-button automatic shutoff.

Once your baby reaches the age of six months old or starts crawling around, they’re immediately exposed to more bacteria and their immune system becomes much stronger. It has an easy-to-use control panel and can hold up to six bottles of all shapes and sizes, plus accessories.The sterilizer also works with other feeding equipment, like breast pump parts, pacifiers, and teething toys. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends sterilizing feeding items daily (or more) for babies under 2 months old, born prematurely, or with a weakened immune system. Before, I was constantly washing bottles and pump parts, but now I just soak them in soapy water, give them a quick brush, and rinse. Sterilizing bottles is easy, and it cuts back on the mountain of germs your baby is introduced to daily — and that’s always a good thing in my book. It also has a smaller upper tray that is used for steam sterilizing smaller parts like bottle nipples, pacifiers, breast pump parts, teether toys, and more.

Parents who want a multi-purpose steamer should like that this unit can also be used on pacifiers, teething rings and small toys. It holds plastic or silicone bottles of various shapes and sizes (no glass) and also warms milk bags. The convenience of having both a sterilizer and dryer in one unit has been a real space-saver in my already crowded kitchen, and I appreciate how it keeps everything clean and organized. This one sterilizes in six minutes and dries in four minutes—less time than it takes to change a wiggly baby’s diaper.It was designed to allow steam to reach deep into the bottle, which creates more thorough sterilization. A bottle sterilizer can also be handy if you're traveling and staying somewhere without a full kitchen. For fast sterilization on the go or at home, the Medela Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags kill bacteria and germs in minutes.
