Where can I sterilise my baby's bottle at Gatwick airport?
Unfortunately, there are no facilities available at Gatwick to sterilise your baby's milk bottle. Instead, Boots, situated airside at Gatwick airport, allows you to buy readily sterilised disposable bottles. These provide peace of mind and remove the hassle of trying to find somewhere to manually sterilise your baby's bottles.

Where can I heat my baby's bottle at Gatwick?
If you're looking to heat your baby's bottle at the same time as you're having your meal, you can ask the restaurant or eatery if they can heat your child's bottle or provide you with something to heat it with. This service does depend on particular restaurants' health and safety guidelines, so it's best to check when you arrive. In short, some are happy to help, some are a little more wary. But never fear as there will be somewhere that you can get your baby's bottle warmed at each terminal.
