More capacious than a travel steriliser, less bulky than an electric one and only requiring water to work, microwave sterilisers occupy an often-useful middle ground for many parents. Sterilising is crucial at this stage as a babies immune system is not yet high enough to fight off harmful bacteria in milk.

So I can say goodbye to burned fingers knowing that its safe and the bottles have cooled down before opening the lid to remove any items needed.
