#MPBTurns2 Giveaway #4: Milton Travel Sterilising Kit

A few months ago, you may remember that I did a few reviews for sterilising experts Milton. I tried out their Combi Cold Water/Microwave Steriliser (which I still use daily when making E's bottles), the Mini Portable Soother Steriliser and the Travel Steriliser.

Today, as part of my blog birthday celebrations, Milton have offered my readers the chance to win a fantastic Milton Sterilising Travel Kit.

Milton has been a leading name in sterilising baby feeding equipment in the home for over 65 years (my mum used Milton when my sister and I were babies!) and in this time the 'Milton Method' of cold water sterilising was used and it is still used today.

This pack has everything you need to keep your child clean, tidy and germ-free wherever you are headed. The prize includes:

• A Milton Solo Travel Steriliser
• A Milton Portable Soother Steriliser
• Antibacterial handgel
• Antibacterial surface wipes
• Standard Sterilising Tablets
• Mini Sterilising Tablets

The Solo Travel Steriliser is a 2-in-1 microwave or cold water steriliser and it is ideal for sterilising when you are travelling or away from home. It cleans and sterilises breastfeeding equipment, bottles, teethers, plastic toys and other small baby equipment from as little as 2 minutes in the microwave or 15 minutes in cold water.

The award-winning Portable Soother Steriliser is a totally unique method to safetly sterilise soothers in or out of the home. It cleans and sterilises soothers in less than 15 minutes and it can be used as a sterile place to store a spare soother. 

The antibacterial handgel and surface wipes are great for ensuring that all germs are killed on your hands or on surfaces when you are out and about ensuring your baby's safety.

Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser - Review

C, at 22 months old, still has a dummy. He does only get it when he's tired though as it helps him drift off to sleep. Chris and I both don't drive so when we are out and about with C in the pram, we'll take his dummy with us because he will nap in his buggy. Sometimes, the inevitable does happen, and he will strop and throw his dummy on the ground or it will accidentally get dropped. 

Milton have sent us out one of their Mini Portable Soother Sterilisers to try out and they are so easy to use!

Upon opening, I found that it came with a strap to attach onto the side of your pram (I've been attaching mine to my changing bag) and 10 mini sterilising tablets. 

To use the steriliser all you need to do is rinse your soother, open the mini steriliser and inside there will be two sponges; a solid one and one with a hole. These need to be removed before use. Then, fill the steriliser with cold water up to the line and insert a mini sterilising tablet and wait for it to dissolve. After it has fully dissolved, place the solid sponge back in then the sponge with the hole on top. The two sponges will absorb all of the solution (tip any excess away). 

Next, place the teat of the soother into the hole of the sponge and twist it to clean, close the lid and leave for 15 minutes to fully sterilise. 

I cannot believe how quick, easy and simple it is and it does really make my life easier when we're out and about. It's watertight too so we have had no leakages, thankfully! You don't need to rinse the dummy before giving it to your child and it will stay sterile in the solution for 24 hours. 

You can purchase your own Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser from Boots for an amazing £5.00 (usually £6.99)!

tommee tippee closer to nature's New Best of British Collection

I love tommee tippee products. We used the plain closer to nature bottles when C was just born and he still uses one for his bedtime bottle. We once had an incident where we stayed at my parents and I bought him a cheap bottle because I forgot his usual one and he was having none of it so he must be a fan too!
