Sorry to threadjack but can you put medela parts and bottles in electric steam sterilisers then? ]]> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 14:03:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1248664&title=glass-bottles#1248664 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1248344&title=glass-bottles#1248344 Author: Shezamumof3

When I was feeding caden with TT bottles(08/09 they were that clearer looking plastic and then with Bella 09/10 they were the foggy looking plastic which I think is the BPA free ones??]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 22:18:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1248344&title=glass-bottles#1248344 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1248311&title=glass-bottles#1248311 Author: Jeffie

Thanks for all the info, it sounds like the way to go for us. Compared prices of new bottles on TM and Ebay and must admit, Ebay are winning hands down even after you pay for postage. ]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 21:33:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1248311&title=glass-bottles#1248311 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1247977&title=glass-bottles#1247977 Author: JadeC

As for the BPA, I'm pretty sure the Tommy Tippee ones are mostly BPA free now, I'm sure I read it on their website.

I guess a downside to glass would be if you are clumsy!!]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:41:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1247977&title=glass-bottles#1247977 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1247096&title=glass-bottles#1247096 Author: hils10

We use evenflo ones, but use different teats from what they came with as our DD didn't like the slow flow rate. The teats we have came from Commonsense Organics - can't remember the brand (nature-something...)

I sterilized them when bubs was less than 3 months old but now I don't bother. We don't have a dishwasher but use a little circular scrubbing brush to wash them out and they are pretty easy to clean. You do have to be a bit careful with microwaving as they can get hot - 20-30 sec to heat 200ml of formula is about enough. ]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:51:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1247096&title=glass-bottles#1247096 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1247059&title=glass-bottles#1247059 Author: newme

I just put my evenflo bottles in the dishwasher, along with the bits from the breastpump. Seems to get them very clean.
I don't sterilise anything. I really do not think it is necessary at all. ]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:29:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1247059&title=glass-bottles#1247059 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246985&title=glass-bottles#1246985 Author: ElfsMum

Yeah who has time to think about reading instructions when you have a newborn though! besides it doesn't hurt to sterilise anyway even if you don't need to.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 09:32:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246713&title=glass-bottles#1246713 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246707&title=glass-bottles#1246707 Author: AuntieSarah

Cool thanks for that, good to know!

All the good stuff in breastmilk does the job for you so you just need to wash in hot soapy water and rinse well with hot water and that's that. If you read the instructions of most pumps and the info you can get from mw's etc about pumping they all say you don't need to sterlise.
I use to sterilse the bits of my breastpump/bottles every so often though just to be sure.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 09:26:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246703&title=glass-bottles#1246703 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246695&title=glass-bottles#1246695 Author: AuntieSarah

Sorry to threadjack - just read your post cuppatea and wondering - do you not need to sterilize with breastmilk? Why not? This sounds like something I should've known last time! ]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 09:19:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246695&title=glass-bottles#1246695 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246651&title=glass-bottles#1246651 Author: cuppatea

Yeah we have the evenflo ones as well. I didn't find them too much of an issue, if you are using them for breastmilk then you don't need to sterilise them, otherwise you can just boil for 5 mins in a large pot to sterilise them or use the milton tablets.

If you are worried about BPA, which is a very valid worry considering they are banning it in other parts of the world but don't want to go glass then medela bottles are BPA free and they can be bought at babycity/factory and online, but they also cannot go in a microwave sterliser so it's either not sterlising if using breastmilk or boiling/milton tabs for them as well, and that goes for the parts of their breastpumps too.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:42:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246651&title=glass-bottles#1246651 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246619&title=glass-bottles#1246619 Author: newme

I got the evenflo ones. Much cheaper than the 'designer' type glass bottles. I am finding them fantastic.

These bottles also fit a wide range of teats too.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:15:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246619&title=glass-bottles#1246619 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37582&PID=1246574&title=glass-bottles#1246574 Author: ElfsMum
