Thank you so much for your feedback! It’s seems clear I need a different style of nebulizer kit. You boil AND sterilize in Bololo? Why both? Is it insufficient to simply sterilize in the Bololo? I was worried about drying in the Bololo as I thought I read somewhere, maybe in the study of the baby bottle sterilizers, that there was concern about contamination with using the baby bottle sterilizer dry function. Of course, now that I try to find that discussion I cannot locate. Grrrr.

Yes, I’ve heard that from one of my “mentors” about the baby bottle sterilizer re contamination. I think that came from another group. I initially started out just boiling and drying in the Bololo. Then I decided to do both. Two reasons, that’s what my friend does and if there’s a thought of contamination from just drying in the Bololo, why not just sterilize and dry. The boiling also might be overkill, but it isn’t difficult unless you forget to put water in the pot! That’s just my comfort level.
From all my reading it’s mind boggling because there are people that didn’t even know they are supposed to clean, never mind sterilize the equipment to those who sterilize everything every use. It’s quite the rabbit hole. I know probably more than most about clean vs sterile. I’ve worked surgery and the medical world most of my life. I have to turn that mind off for at home because I’ll go crazy. I would definitely recommend the AeroEclipse XL nebulizer.
My new decision how long to I use the tubing before replacing. Another all over the place answer from one week to never!
Like I was told, it all becomes just another everyday routine once you get into it.
