Yes Sue. That is why I feel interesting. Different opinions promote more thoughtful ideas. I love that. I also find it helpful to look into different resources and combine different ideas to make it a comprehensive picture.

This article was cited by Dr. Jennifer Honda who used to have a research lab at National Jewish Health and is now at UT Tyler. She mentioned this research during a patient conference. Please note that in addition to gram positive and negative bacteria, mycobacteria was tested. The sterilizer killed all 80 pathogens. Like Sue, I’m a strong believer in listening to Dr. Falkinham. However, I do choose to soak my devices in warm soapy water that I repeatedly agitate. I like knowing that before I pop everything into my baby bottle sterilizer most of the bacteria and medication have been removed. It might not be necessary, but it makes me feel more secure. Like double knotting my sneakers 🙂

Hi. I do know as a RN, Board certified lactation consultant that if use the baby bottle sterilziers. Be sure to check for and clean mold. Some can apparently be bad and we dont want that exposure
