Review: Philips Avent Microwave Steam Steriliser Bags for making travelling with baby easy

‘It’s getting bigger. Should it be getting bigger?
‘Maybe we should step away from the microwave in case it blows up?’

I had given Daddy T the huge responsibility of sterilising a bottle and dummies on holiday, and he was taking the task very seriously, obsessively reading the instructions and carefully watching the Philips Avent Microwave Steam Steriliser Bag he was in charge of spin around in the microwave.

He had washed all the pieces we were sterilising, placed them in a bag with the right amount of water, and turned on the microwave. It seemed pretty straightforward and easy to me, but he was very worried about getting it wrong.

After three minutes, however, we could both see that I had done well leaving this to him. He could pour out the water after the bag had cooled down and tick off a box on the bag to ensure we remembered we had now used this bag one of the 20 times it could be used.

Most importantly, we were ready to hand Baby Boy a freshly sterilised dummy to try calming him down again and letting us return to the sofa to watch a rom com in true holiday style.

Philips Avent Microwave Steam Steriliser Bags (£10) include five sterilising bags, and each can be used at least 20 times. It can take as little as one and a half minute to sterilise with these, depending on the power of the microwave oven
