Would the use of a (baby bottle) sterilizer after every use be a good substitute for boiling or vinegar? I read about that on a CF site. I wonder if it would work as well. Any comments?

I have read it as well, and I don't have a definitive answer, but I can't see why not. It would be the same as the microwave method. I didn't pursue it because I have a TOTAL of 6 feet of counter space, so I shun single-use appliances.

I dug deep on the Internet the other day and found a number of studies showing that the best method is baby bottle sterilizers. With some of them (e.g. Phillips Avent), you can just leave the lid on with the sterilized stuff in it for up to 24 hours until you use it again. (Cheaper, though, is getting a microwave bottle sterilizer some of those can also be left with the lid on until next use, like this one).
