Thank you for this post. I looked at the research article and I am in peace because two weeks ago I switched from sterilizing bags to a baby bottle sterilizer. I am happy how it works for me. Wash, soak, rinse in 10 min boiled water and then drop all in the machine which sterilizes and dries. It gives me a few minutes of extra time at night. So thanks again for the proof I am doing the right thing

May I ask why you boil for 10 minutes and then also place in the bottle sterilizer? Wouldn't the 10 minutes of boiling sterilize it? I know that the bottle sterilizer also dries and is a good place to keep the equipment until it is used again. That is a real plus. I have found that, as soon as I remove the nebulizer equipment and the Aerobika from the boiling water, it almost immediately dries. I shake what little water remains on it off, and then I place it on clean paper towels and loosely cover it. When I used the microwave Avent steam sterilizer, there was always so much water on the equipment when I took it out. That is when I began boiling. I am leaning towards also having an electric bottle sterilizer because I think it is easier on the Aerobika when it is done twice a day than when boiling.

According to Dr Joe in a recent post on NTM-ir, soaking is not needed before sterilizing, nor is washing/rinsing in sterile water. Just wash & rinse in regular water, drop into the sterilizer, it takes care of the rest. Even quicker!
