Getting out of the house with your baby is a part of everyday life - whether you're going to play in the park, away on holiday, visiting family members, or popping to the shops - but we know it's not always straight-forward.

Bottle feeding on-the-go needn't be stressful thanks to our travel sterilising range. Practical and portable, these products make sure that your baby's bottles are germ-free and ready to go, and that their tummy stays protected from germs when you're away from home.

Portable Sterilising Solutions

Microwave steriliser

Ideal if you're taking a trip away, our compact Microwave Steriliser uses natural steam to thoroughly clean every surface, so there's no need for chemicals. Just pop it in a microwave and job done.

Self-sterilising baby bottles

Only need to sterilise one baby bottle? We've got you. A Tommee Tippee bottle can be sterilised in the microwave in just 3 minutes.

  1. Add 50ml of water, rest the assembled hood, ring and teat on top (but don’t fasten), and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes. ​
  2. Add expressed breast milk or formula to the sterile bottle. ​
  3. Twist the sterile bottle hood, ring and teat back on, pop off the lid, and feed. ​

Sterilising tablets

These are another practical option when it comes to sterilising on-the-go as they can be used with cold water. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and be sure to leave all feeding equipment in the solution for at least 30 minutes before rinsing and drying.

Travel Essentials

Can I use the water abroad to sterilise bottles?

Always check to see if drinking the local water is recommended first. If it is allowed, then be sure to boil it first and don't use previously boiled water.

After sterilisation, bottles will stay sterile for 24 hours when stored properly. Remember to put the teats and lids on the bottle straightaway, and wash and dry your hands before handling sterilised equipment.
