Sterilizing bottles....

how long did everyone sterilize bottles for? What age did you stop? I still do and my DD will be 10 months in a few days.

I stopped at a month old.
Probably before then

Once before we actually used them. Then just a good run in the dishwasher

I boil mine once a week. Hes 2.5 months now.

I sterilized with my first till he got off the bottle, my second son I had a dishwasher so I just threw them in there.

oh wow. haha guess i can stop then?

I guess I was paranoid, I would wash them then boil the nipples everytime.

i have one of the microwave sterilizers so its just an xtra 2 minute step...

If you are comfortable with it. If not, theirs really nothing wrong with wanting to make sure you child's bottles are extra clean

yea i am i was just wondering how long other people do it for. i don't have a dishwasher but i glove up and wash in the hottest water!

I have some that said do not boil. I just ran them in the dishwasher on sanitize before first use, same with sippy cups.

DD is 11 months old and I still boil them twice a week, her pacis too.

I wash and sterilize them every time

I stopped doing that around 8 months, I still obviously wash after every use. SO is like you though, he will sterilize or boil them after every single use lol.
