Sterilizer
If you wash bottles by hand, sterilizing is a necessary step. Microwave sterilizers, which are inexpensive and take only a few minutes, get the job done for a modest investment.

The Steam Guard holds four bottles and features include locking tabs, a heat-resistant top handle and tongs for handling hot items. Also comes with a Deluxe Bottle Brush, which is a nice bonus. A little larger than other options.
$21
Holds six bottles and works in two minutes -- now that's efficient. We also like the locking clips and safety grips to avoid burns. (It's heat that sterilizes.) Will hold most bottle sizes, not just Avent, in addition to breast pump parts, pacifiers, etc.
$20
Sterilizers four bottles in four minutes. Holds any type of bottle and pump parts.
$65
For the self-professed germophobe, Avent offers a state-of-the-art steam sterilizer.
