The Ultimate Guide to Baby Bottle Cleaning, Sterilising, and Drying with Millie Poppins and the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro

The transition into parenthood brings a myriad of responsibilities, with the health and well-being of a newborn being paramount. One critical aspect of infant care is maintaining a sterile environment, particularly regarding feeding. In the latest episode of The Cheeky Rascals Podcast, we delve deep into the art of baby bottle sterilisation with motherhood expert, Millie Poppins. Millie, with her wealth of knowledge, guides us through the significance of differentiating between ‘clean’ and ‘sterile’ baby bottles and feeding equipment, emphasizing that this distinction is crucial in preventing the onset of infant diseases caused by harmful bacteria and viruses.

Topics covered in this podcast:

  1. The importance of sterilising baby bottles

  2. Cleaning baby bottles and feeding equipment

  3. The revolutionary Baby Brezza Baby Bottle Pro

Millie offers a historical perspective on sterilisation methods, acknowledging our grandparents’ time-tested boiling pots, and introduces us to modern innovations such as UV and steam sterilisers. The revolutionary Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro is highlighted, a device that promises to transform the daily routine of parents by providing an efficient and reliable sterilisation solution. This device is not just a steriliser; it cleans, sterilizes, and dries bottles, reducing the workload on already busy parents.

Throughout the episode, Millie identifies common pitfalls in the cleaning process, such as the reliance on dishwashers, which do not reach the temperatures necessary to sterilise effectively. The dishwasher’s inability to address nooks and crannies, particularly in bottle teats where bacteria can thrive, underscores the need for specialised equipment. Moreover, she stresses the importance of selecting safe cleaning agents that are free from harmful residues, ensuring the utmost safety for your baby’s feeding gear.

The podcast also offers a step-by-step guide to proper bottle cleaning, from thorough washing to the final sterilisation process, underscoring the need for meticulousness in each step to avoid cross-contamination. Millie discusses the necessity of regularly replacing bottle teats and recommends sterilising additional feeding accessories like formula scoops to prevent bacterial growth. Lastly, Millie imparts tips for choosing the right sterilising machine, factoring in usage frequency, kitchen space, portability, and price.


In the ever-evolving landscape of infant care, this podcast episode stands as a testament to the power of innovation and the importance of staying informed. The revolutionary Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro instantly washes, sterilises and dries within 88 minutes. It is the first appliance to automatically wash, sterilise & dry bottles, breast pump parts, and accessories. The Bottle Washer Pro kills 99.9% of germs.
