ok too late but I have a fairly large rice cooker that I never used before having my baby (  5 days ago )

I have been using this rice cooker to boil water for his baths, pre-soak his dirty cloth diapers before wash ( machine ) , and yes sterilizing his milk bottles too, works for me.

i just click on cook and let it keep boiling ( keep warm ) until i need it ( usually 10 mins or so )

BREAST IS BEST !!! really it is. only thing I deal with is going braless sometimes, ok back home ( Singapore ) nobody really cares but here .................... hubby cringed when a buddy of his saw me breastfeed my baby at the hospital !! In Cambodia they go topless when breastfeeding, everybody understands

Congratulations on your new baby. I have a 8 week old now. I can't believe that you use the same rice cooker to pre-soak dirty nappies and sterilize your bottles? That can't be a good idea........ I actually invested in the Phillips avent iq24. I have to say that it works just perfectly. All the bottles, breast pump etc go in there, stay sterilised for 24 hours, really no hassle at all. Small price to pay for peace of mind and ease. We too breast feed 90% of the time, but if we are out and it is inapropriate to get the breast out, we use pumped breast milk in bottles. Good luck.

LMAO i only use the cooker to boil the water , after it's boiled I transfer the boiling water into a pail - THEN add the dirty diapers into the pail


by the way is your baby on the formula ? i have to wean him off the breast soon and so far he has been rejecting the formula, or  should I just pump and store breast milk ?
