Sterilizing Bottles

It’s recommended to steralise until they stop drinking formula or breast milk. Not sure about the US recommendations but in the UK they can drink cows milk from 12 months old so basically until then

I don’t remember what exactly is recommended but I did like above stated and really even then still sterilized supply’s and such just bc I’m paranoid 😂 I think I started saying screw it around 14-15 months for my oldest bc they just got into everything and regardless how I tried always stuck things in their mouth anyway!

A year old. When they stop having formula. You don't need to sterilise utensils etc when they start weaning but definitely milk bottles

I heard of sterilizating water for the first 6 months, but after that they can have tap water. I think it might be the same as sterilizing everything?

13 months x

After 4 months we started sterilizing weekly instead of daily. Every new cup, bowl and teether gets sterilized before first use too.

8 months and still sterilizing, not sure when it is okay to stop.

Okay thank you guys so much! I will continue sterilizing until she’s at least a year old ☺️

In the US they no longer say you have to sterilize like that unless your baby was a preemie/nicu baby or is immunocompromised. Otherwise washing with hot water is really fine.

Until you switch to cows milk after they turn 1( at whichever point this works for you)

My baby’s 11 months and I still sterilise his bottles 😊

12 months when we switched to cows milk
