I don't have one, but was looking into it. (i made my duplicate shower returns today and now have $$ to spend at wal-mart, lol)

1) is it really safe to put baby's stuff in the microwave?
2) I know you need to sterilize bottle nipples and pacifiers and such...but i have the drop ins system so isn't just washing the holder part good enough...or do you even have to wash the holder everytime?
3) if you do choose to use the sterilizer for all parts, should they be washed first (w/dishsoap) or is the sterilization all that's necessary.

Sorry! I know that's actually 3 questions in one...i'm just trying to figure everything out. This is my first so I'm pretty in the dark.

My mom recommended the drop-ins because she said there'd be less to wash...but if you have to wash it anyway, does it really help?
