@blm1007blm1007 It can be exhausting. I have reduced my boiling days to every 5 days. I only boil the aeroclipse tops and put the cups and mouth pieces in my BOLOLO. That has really helped. I now use the aerobika after nebulizing like a flutter valve. My goal is to order more of the aeroclipse and boil just 1/week. I'm also considering getting up earlier:).

@kathyjjb I understand about : "I'm also considering getting up earlier." If my body didn't wake me up two to three times a night I also would like to get up early and have a longer day. I try to be in bed by 10:30 and for me I aim for 7 hours of sleep. Doesn't always happen. I do want to try going to bed earlier to be able to get up earlier.
This week between my PCP and a friend telling me what they know, believe and heard......the philosophy about sleep with how much and when to plan the time to wake each morning ... is getting a bit confusing. My PCP said with regard to sleep and what we hear all the time "we are all different", He said what one person needs is not the same for the other person. Anything I've ever read, previously, says 7 to 8 hours sleep.!?

I have four aeroclipse working each week. I rinse and clean immediately and then I boil two at a time in my glass pyrex pot and place them between a cotton dishtowel to dry. I didn't do the baby bottle sterilizer due to, where do I put this, the 'space' factor etc. Boiling in the pot allows me to get a bit of humidity in the 'dry' house. So I tell myself.

@kathyjjb Can I ask why you boil the aeroclipse tops? I put everything in my BOLOLO every day after I soak in very hot water with Dawn Free and Clear. Is the BOLOLO not good enough? I wonder if I should also be boiling like you? I run the BOLOLO once at night with all aeroclipse and Aerobika parts. I have two sets of each. I found that two sets fit in perfectly using just the top tray over the boiling plate below.
