I have recently changed to cold water sterilisation and just wondered how you sterilise your bottles and other equipment?
I have an Avent electric steriliser which I did use up until recently but when we went on holiday a couple of weeks ago I took my mums Tommee Tippee microwave steriliser as it's smaller to pack. When we got there the microwave wasn't big enough but as the TT is suitable for using as a cold water steriliser I just bought some tablets and started using it that way. I quite like the idea of the bottles being totally immersed in the water as it makes me think it's cleaner than with steam somehow but I don't like my hands smelling of chlorine and I feel it's quite a waster of water. I use 6 litres of water every day and that seems such a waste when it goes down the sink.
Does anyone know over all which is better for the environment, electric steriliser, microwave steriliser or cold water steriliser? I suppose it comes down to which is worse using electricity or water. I aren't super environmentally friendly but I like to be aware of what I'm doing.
