Hi all, I actually had a mom use one of these microwave sterilizers for her NICU baby. She actually was an Infectious Disease doctor, who had had her sick fullterm baby in our NICU. I asked her if she thought that this would be good enough for our mothers of sick, preterm babies--she said, "Sure, the water gets hot enough to steam, so it's the same as boiling." This would be a much simpler and quicker way of sterilizing parts for pumping.
