Re: When did you stop Sterlizing Bottles?

I'm still sterilizing and DS is almost 8 months old.

I don't know if I really HAVE to still do it, but I do not trust the water where I live, so I would rather be safe.

Re: When did you stop Sterlizing Bottles?

I sterilized the bottles religiously until 3 months. I would have kept going but we switched to Dr. Brown's and I didn't think I could put those in my Avent electric sterilizer. Since then (he's almost 9 months) I've washed his bottles in the hottest water that will come out of our faucet, so hot that I need to wear gloves and even then, sometimes I burn my hands.

Ditto

I was told only to boil the first time. Once you touch the bottle it's really not sterile anyway.
Top rack dishwasher. Every night

Re: When did you stop Sterlizing Bottles?

With both of my DC I sterlized their bottles up to the time they stopped using them. With DS he was 13 months old and with DD she was 11 months old.
