The Sunday after we returned home from ET, I felt like I really needed to sterilize Maura Rohama's bottles because of travel germs. I got out my handy dandy Avent microwave sterilizer and added water and popped it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Well, sadly enough, this is how my bottles came out of the sterilizer:
Never, ever sterilize the bottles in the microwave as they melt! There is a disclaimer on the bottle that says not to microwave or boil as the liner may burst, but I thought this just applied to when the bottle contained a liner. I never nuke bottles with formula, but it never occurred to me that this meant they couldn't be sterlized in the microwave! Oh well, after almost 30 hours of travel, jet lag, and getting up and down with a baby, my brain was fried and unfortunately the bottles became victims!
