Answer 1

I think its 6 months you can stop sterilyzing but i kept doing it until my daughter turned 12 months old, im a germ freak i guess..

You should know how to sterilize by now, but if you need some refreshments i'll tell you that all you have to do is wash the bottles out and then carefully put them into boiling water for 2 - 4 minutes. Then take them out and let them cool. Tip - Tongs help a lot :)

Answer 2

I don't know what the books say, but I continued to sterilize my bottles for about 3 months...of course, I'm kind of a picky mom!

Answer 3

I have never sterilized a single bottle for any of my 3 kids.....

Too late now I guess!!  =)

Answer 4

In the UK the advice is until 12 months but I'm of the opinion that if they still need to drink out of a bottle then it should be sterilised.

Answer 5

i remember my mom did for my siblings.

we never did for our daughter.

and she's fine.

Answer 6

Answer 7

they say until 12 months but definitely at 6 weeks you should sterilize baby's bottles I stopped sterilizing my kids bottles at about 8 months it all depends on you really but in the first 6 months I believe that the bottles should be sterilized
