Disposable bottles and bottle liners

Avent and Playtex make bottles which come with a disposable liner like a plastic bag. The Steri-bottle is completely disposable, used once and thrown away. Once filled with the teat on, it cannot be taken apart.

PROS

  • With a disposable liner you will need to sterilise only the teats
  • Avoid the need to buy a steriliser - sterilise teats in a pan of boiling water
  • With the Steri-bottle, no need to sterilise at all
  • Convenient when away from home.

CONS

  • Disposable liners can be fiddly and difficult to use if you have dexterity, sight or learning disabilities
  • The Steri-bottle is expensive to use, and wasted if you put on the teat by mistake.
