The First Years Steam Sterilizer Directions

Bottle sterilizers thoroughly clean baby bottles and other small baby items such as bottle nipples and pacifiers. Steam sterilizers are an efficient way to sanitize, allowing steam to enter any small crevice and completely eliminating any bacteria that you may have missed. The First Years Babypro Steam Sterilizer is made to hold up to five wide neck bottles, along with bottle nipples, bottle caps, pacifiers or small toys.
