"Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas with my wigglesandgiggles.com, and I'd like to share with you how to sterilize nipples; I'm sorry, bottle nipples, on the stove top. Now this is definitely the old school way to do things, but it still works nonetheless. All you can do is take a, the biggest, deepest pot that you have with a lid, and fill it up with water. I would definitely wait until the water is boiling to put your nipples inside, cover the lid, and I'd say give it about 15 or so minutes, and make sure that you are very careful when removing the nipples from the large pot, dump out the water, you can get a large towel, or several napkins, and just kind of let the nipples air dry, you can probably wipe them down a little bit, but kind of just let them air dry, and then just kind of clean up your mess from there. But this is still a very useful way to sterilize nipples."
