Oxo Tot Essentials

Cleaning and sterilising is a huge part of looking after your new baby. Any products that make this easier have to be good, right? I was lucky enough to be sent the Oxo Tot Bottle brush with stand and Bottle draining board to try out.  Here is my review...

Bottle Brush with Teat Cleaner & Stand

I am breastfeeding my baby daughter, Niamh and I am able to compliment this with the Medela range of feeding products. I used the brush to clean the inside of the Medela bottle with hot water before sterlising it and then using the bottle. The brush has a main body of bristles to clean the inside of the bottle and a separate, smaller brush for the inside of the bottle teat. It also boasts a bottle stand, so there is never a 'where do I put this' moment. Especially when travelling or on holiday, as well as being convenient it is most importantly, hygienic. 

Here are the benefits of the bottle brush listed in full. 

• Brush head has two types of bristles for gentle cleaning and serious scrubbing
• Flexible neck for easy reach inside bottles
• Silicone bottle teat Cleaner gets into tight spaces and is ideal for bottle nipples, sippy cup or breast pump parts and more
• Ventilation holes help teat Cleaner dry quickly
• Soft, comfortable grip won’t slip out of wet hands
• Available with and without storage Stand in green, orange and aqua
• Dishwasher safe

Bottle drying Rack

I used the bottle drying rack to air dry my baby bottle and nursing equipment, after washing them in hot water and before sterlising. I really liked the design and it fitted in well with the decor in my kitchen. It is small, so you don't need much space for use. The bottle draining board is designed so that instead of using and clogging up your existing draining board, you have a separate one for just baby bottles and products. This means it keeps your baby items separate from the rest of your drying up. The draining board enables you to 'air-dry' your baby bottles and products, which makes it more hygienic. You can fit the board in the dish-washer if you prefer which saves time. 

Here are the full benefits of the draining board.

• Fits at least 8 disassembled baby bottles and their components
• Deep walls contain water and corners are shaped to easily pour out excess water
• Flexible tines elevate bottles, nipples and breast pump parts to allow for ventilation
• Open area with raised ribs provides space for small parts and keep items away from water at the bottom of the tray
• Cup attaches to multiple areas of the tray and is ideal for utensils, straws and medicine droppers
• Non-skid feet allow for stability and make it easy to lift tray
• Top rack dishwasher safe
• Dimensions: 13.63" x 10.13" x 3"
