Steriliser Broke!!
I have the Tomee Tippee Electric Steam steriliser and iv noticed the past few days the water was still in the bottom after sterilising. anyhoo, last night as soon as it'd finished working through the digital stages and it said 3 on it (which usually indicates finished) i opened it and the bottles where stone cold! so it hasnt been sterilising my bottles for a few days!! whoops!!
anyway i need to get a new one obv cos oh cant figure out whats up with it..so which one should i get. only need it for another 6months so dont wanna spend a fortune. are cold water sterilisers any good? or microwave? dont wanna buy another steam cos theyre dearer!

I also agree that u should try to return the broken 1 first. Only prob with having to get another though, is that u will be over run with new bottles and new born teats that u probably wont use.
i too would try taking back - even without the reciept- or email Tommee Tippee outraged that it is a duff one!! tell them you will happily send it back to them for a replacement / refund - they should have an idea of when manufactured due to the serial number, and the condition it is in!
however, is C 6 months old yet? as he is weaning, maybe you could get away without sterilising? my friends HV told her their was no need after 6 months, but tbh, i still did it.
my steriliser broke when Issy was 9months old, and as it was 7yrs old, had done 3 kids, i called it a day, and didnt sterilise after that! (was Avent one)

so im using the lindam travel sterilising bags till i can get my friends on saturday.
Nicki, i have heard that before but am keen to keep sterilising his bottles till he turns 1. dont do his food bowls though but milk is bad for bacteria isnt it.

Funny that we would have bought these at roughly the same time so could well be a bad batch hon!
