3 approaches by moms

UV Steriliser50% moms chose this path

Using ultraviolet light to kill bacteria while keeping bottles completely dry.

Suits busy parents who want a dry storage space and zero burn risks. You just wash, shake off excess water, and let the machine dry and sterilise everything.

Felicia T.. · First-time mom · 34 weeks pregnant

Bought a Haenim UV steriliser during a Takashimaya baby fair. It dries the bottles completely and doubles as a storage cabinet.

Xin Hui L.. · Working mom · Baby at 3 months

UV is a lifesaver when you are sleep deprived. Just dump the washed bottles in, press a button, and go back to sleep.

Steam Steriliser35% moms chose this path

Using high temperature steam to quickly disinfect bottles and pump parts.

Suits value-conscious parents who prefer the traditional, hospital-standard method of killing germs. The cycle is fast, but you often need to air-dry the bottles afterwards unless you buy a premium model.

I still prefer my Philips Avent steam steriliser because the heat feels more reassuring. Just be careful of the hot steam when opening.

Natasha S.. · First-time mom · 30 weeks pregnant

Got a steam steriliser with a dryer function from Shopee. It takes up less counter space and is much cheaper than UV models.

Boiling Water5% moms chose this path

Submerging washed bottles in a pot of boiling water for five minutes.

Suits minimalist parents or those who only occasionally bottle-feed and do not want extra appliances. It costs nothing but requires constant supervision and careful handling with tongs to avoid burns.

We just use a dedicated pot to boil water for five minutes. It saves kitchen space and my mother-in-law is very used to it.

Expert guidance

Unsterilised baby bottles can harbour bacteria like rotavirus, which causes severe gastroenteritis and dehydration in infants. NUH guidance recommends using a steam or UV steriliser, while KKH notes that traditional boiling is also an effective method. What matters most is that bottles are sterilised before every single use, as regular washing alone cannot eliminate all harmful pathogens.
