:( That does sound hectic. My registry is kinda all over the place because I've already bought a ton of stuff, but just some suggestions of some things (FTM so no idea really if these are good or not, some were recommendations from friends, some were recommendations from various online resources).

  • car seat, extra base if you have more than one car, and stroller
  • baby carrier - I got the ergobaby 360 with infant insert but the Lillebaby 360 is also super popular.
  • swaddles - aden & anais seem to be hugely popular.
  • bathing supplies - washcloths, bathtub
  • first aid kit supplies - NoseFrida, nail clipper, thermometer
  • feeding - bottles, sterilizer (some people told me I had to have it, some said it was totally unnecessary), bottle cleaner brush, drying rack (seems like everyone else loves the Boon grass, but I don't have the counter space!) You can get a pump through your insurance if you plan to breastfeed, I ordered mine through Aeroflow. I ultimately chose the Spectra S2 over the Medela PISA because it's a closed system, which apparently means less chances of bacteria getting into the system and thus easier cleaning.
  • burp clothes - I was told to just get a ton of cloth diapers to use as burp clothes, and to have them everywhere.
  • diaper pail - I have two friends who say this is good enough, so I went with it. They also said to use doggie poop bags to contain the smelly diapers.
  • humidifier
  • Boppy for nursing
  • Backpack style diaper bag
  • baby may need a more convenient place to be set down other than the crib, something you can have near you in the kitchen, shower, whatever. Popular options are the rock n play, Boppy lounger, or a pack 'n play. I plan on getting the Chicco FastAsleep pack 'n play because the crib/dresser/changing station is on our 2nd floor, so I figured this could double as a changing station/napper on the first floor.

    Lucie's List is probably the best resource I found online.

The Phillips Avent sterilizer is the best invention ever. Give the parts a wash, throw them in the thing, thing goes in the microwave for two minutes and it’s done! Saved me a TON of time over these three kids...

I have this one and use it almost on a daily basis. I think it works well and if nothing else, gives me piece of mind.

What organisms are you planning to work with?

(tl;dr read refs 1,2,3; google "baby bottle microwave sterilizer)

1) If you are considering culturing environmental samples, read the diybio.org "Ask A Biosafety Officer" responses to the questions about culturing samples http://ask.diybio.org/questions/.

2) In general you should familiarize yourself with the CDC's Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) 5th Edition (pdf direct link) if you are not already.

In particular, Appendix B—Decontamination and Disinfection (pg 326) defines and reviews principles of sterilization vs disinfection.

An interesting and useful project would be to measure effectiveness of one or more "diy-friendly" alternative sterilization/disinfection tools + procedures. One way to start researching how to design such an experiment could start with reading the BMBL (at least the appendix B and related sections) to learn conceptual starting points & technicals terms. Van Doornmalen 2008 (ref 3 below) is a good review to learn more.

microwave baby-bottle steam "sterilizers"

Now, with that said, I'd like to suggest another set of consumer products that might be useful for home lab disinfection: baby bottle sterilizers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007VBXKG2. In particular some are designed to be used with microwave ovens. They are usually plastic containers with an internal rack for holding the bottles along with a resevoir for water. The microwave is used to vaporize the water into steam. Unlike lab autoclaves, these are not pressure vessels and so the pressure & temp of the steam is at ambient and thus not capable of true sterilization.

However, it may be that the incident microwaves compensate for this to some degree - or not. Lit review + research required! Here is a PubMed search for relevant MESH terms ("Disinfection/methods"[MAJR]) AND "Microwaves"[MAJR]. It seems as if there has been some research into using microwaves to disinfect dentures and toothbrushes.

Sterilizing really isn't necessary. But if you want to and have a microwave, you can use that to sterilize stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AVENT-Microwave-Steam-Sterilizer/dp/B007VBXKG2/ref=pd_cp_ba_1 or http://www.amazon.com/Medela-Quick-Clean-Micro-Steam-Bags/dp/B00D2WFBC0/ref=pd_sbs_ba_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0891J0HYQX2AA9ZNZWMK

I just use hot soapy water and a bottle brush if I'm not using the dishwasher. Everything gets clean enough.

u/iamkarladanger · 2 pointsr/Mommit

I'm using this one and it's one of the most convenient baby products I own https://www.amazon.de/Philips-AVENT-Microwave-Steam-Steriliser/dp/B007VBXKG2

u/aleii1 · 2 pointsr/Parenting

If you are in the US, call your insurance company and see if they participate in the free breastpump program (most do). I used 4 and 8 oz bottles. For the sterilizer, I love love love the microwavable ones. Simple, cheap, and I use it after every feeding. Much easier than running the dishwasher constantly! Here's the one I have.

A bottle sterilizer steam machine! [Link] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007VBXKG2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HeKGybYWPYJN2)


There are better ones that you plug in but this has good ratings and is cheaper


Especially with 2 babies, you'll have bottles and lids and other pieces of them everywhere but never have any clean. There are microwaveable bags as well for really quick sterilization or for when you're visiting someone else

u/RodneyChops · 1 pointr/PersonalFinanceCanada

This is great advise! I’m in very similar situation. There are some stores called ‘once upon a child’ that have tons of great used stuff cheap. Or just Kijiji.

Stuff we bought new:

  • carseat, because the damn things expire now
  • stroller that works with said carseat, so clips into the stroller without having to pry them out of one seat into another. This is handy when its fricken cold out and your trying to get in the mall.
  • crib sheets
  • bottles, pacifiers (your supposed to throw out soothers every 3 months, babies wear then out apparently)
  • we ikea’ed a new crib, which wasn’t crazy expensive but should have gotten used.
  • baby bath chair thinger, didnt want one full of mold.
  • breast pump, cause yea, ew.

    Everything else we pretty much got given to us by friends or bought used. Toys, vibrating chair/rocking chair thing, play pen thing.

    We never did the special diaper garbage bin. Just got another smaller kitchen garbage pail works fine? Some people swear by those, I don’t see why.

    If you take anything from this thread at all, i’ll tell you what is fucking solid gold though.

    This fucker right here:

    Fuck boiling everything in big pot or dish washer on high heat. 4 minutes in the microwave to sterilize all the baby gear.

I think there might be a solution for this, get one of these. I have a newborn, I have not tried this yet (my wife would kill me if I mixed up baby stuff with beer stuff....), but seems like it should work.

u/kiwimangoes · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

I use either isopropyl alcohol and soak things in it for 20 mins or my baby's old microwave bottle sterilizer if it's not metal and won't melt.

u/DuePomegranate · 1 pointr/Mommit

Yeah, a simple microwave sterilizer like this is cheap and convenient: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-AVENT-Microwave-Steam-Sterilizer/dp/B007VBXKG2

You sterilize everything. You can see all the different pieces in the linked product. I mean, you can probably skip sterilizing the caps since they don't touch either the milk or the baby's mouth, but it's really easier to keep everything together. I basically used my sterilizer as a storage device for all the ready-to-use bottles after sterilizing. Take one set and leave the rest in there, covered up and clean.

As for the brands, Philips is Dutch, Nuk and Tommee Tippee are British, and Tomy (Boon Nursh) is originally from Japan.
