How to sterilize infant feeding bottles while traveling? - A Mother Carrying Her Baby while Feeding Using a Milk Bottle

Does anyone know how one could go about sterilizing infant feed bottles (and teets) while traveling ?

At the moment, the plan is to travel with microwaveable bags (where in I can put the bottles and microwave them). I have transit in Singapore and am trying to find how/where I can access a microwave in the airport ?

Of course, I am not the first one to be facing this problem. So, trying to find how people take care of infant feeding bottles while on the go ?



Best Answer

To sterilise the bottles, you can grab a pack of cold water sterilising tablets, which work well to sterilise the bottle.

Alternatively, you can try sterilising the bottles and teats by boiling it water.

If those options are not available, you can always get presterilised disposable bottles.
