7% Saline Success Story that warmed my heart.

Me too. I'm new to this and it's still a big hassle. I'm nebulizing with 7% saline and using a couple of different flutter valves. What's unclear is: which flutter valve or other device is best for most people, how often do you wash the parts and with what, how often do you sterilize and with what. I have gotten different stories from the manufactures brochures. I bought a baby bottle sterilizer that works in the microwave. Since this problem isn't going away ever, maybe I should invest in something easier and if so what? Maybe someone has a link to a article that deals with all this.

These are the directions I was given to sterilize any parts used: soak in a drop or two of clear dishwashing liquid in warm water for 5 min. Then, rinse and add to boiling distilled water for 5 min. Remove and let dry on clean, lint free cloth. I do this every day.
