How often do you boil nebs?

kmaried · Nov 18, 2008

Hi Kelli,

I use about the same number of nebs as you do, and I boil them after every use (although I have enough nebs that I only do that 1x per day).

My mom actually came up with a great system. We bought this:

</a>
I wash the nebs in soap and water and then put them in the basket in the pot, fill it with water, put on the lid and stick it in the microwave for 10 minutes. When it's done I can lift the basket out, shake it, and stick it back in the microwave for 1 minute intervals to expedite the drying process. Then I can just leave it in the basket and next time I do nebs, they're perfectly dry.

I hope this helps. We came up with this after my senior year in college, when I kept putting nebs to boil on the stove and falling asleep. My roommates and I awoke to smoke alarms going off and toxic fumes throughout the apartment... twice. It certainly beats that!!

have you tried using the steam sterilizer bags for the microwave instead of boiling? that might cut down on wear and tear, I used them for my pump parts ( when breastfeeding) and they worked well. Also my clinic gets the pari jet nebs for Tobi for free from the drug company and gives them out
