Stop trying to direct people to another website. This is all it says:

I am not signing up to a website in order to join this debate.

Anyway to answer your question, I sterilize everything when I first buy them, boil it for 5 Min's. After that whenever they are dirty they get run through the dishwasher.

Answer 2

I sterilize the bottles after every feeding, my son is 4 1/2 months old. He also goes to daycare so that's another reason why i do it, but i think i would anyways...i haved used a few unsterilized before, but not until recently.

Sterilized pacifiers a few times, but only when he had colds. Other than that i just wash them...don't plan on sterilizing teethers.

I'm not sure why some people don't sterilize?? Especially under 6 months, i think by then i might stop!

Answer 3

I sterilize then when I buy them (for the first time) and then wash them in very hot and soapy water after that.  There is no need to sterilize the bottles after every feeding.  I really dont think anything of the people that decide to do it differently, to each their own, as long as they are doing it properly, neither way is incorrect.
