Medela Quick Steam Sterilizing Bags

Before I discovered these Medela Quick Steam Bags with daughter number 2, I was constantly boiling bottles and breast pump parts in a big pot on my stove. It wasn’t very practical or tidy. A colleague turned me on to these bags and I am eternally grateful. You just put the items you need to sterilize in the bag, add a few ounces of water, and put it in the microwave for a few minutes. The bags are very discreet, so you can use them at work without anyone even noticing what you are putting in the microwave. Each bag can be used up to 20 times (and has a place for you to mark off each use so you can keep track). You can buy a pack of 5 for $7.75 at amazon.com. They are also available in the breastfeeding aisle of stores like Target or Walmart.
