Sterilising Weaning Equipment

No I never sterilised any plates/ bowls or spoons only bottles and I think I stopped around 11month with the bottles aswell

You only need to sterilise bottles until 12 months old due to the risk of bacteria growing when using formula.

You don’t need to sterilise weaning stuff as you don’t use formula with it just food x

Anything that uses either breast milk or formula needs sterilising. Everything else just a good wash :)

We used to put ours in steralizing water for a few months but it does discolour them eventually i just washed them before and after use untill he was a year old

Nope I do sterilise her drinking bottle which has water in only because she throws it everywhere !

Nope, honestly after your baby is teething I find sterilizing kind of pointless because theyre putting everything in their mouth anyways, thats not been sterilized. Plus sterilizing is only for newborns who's immune system is still very fragile, once baby is 6m+ theyre already pretty hardy lol. We just wash stuff in hot water and use baby safe dish soap (some dish soaps have endocrine disruptors so we use baby safe).

No point. They're crawling around putting things in their mouth. Dishwasher works fine

No sterilising at all. Just the dishwasher on a hot wash

I thought about it but then she was putting everything in her mouth anyway so I didn’t see the point haha

I have being, I wash then pop them in , tbh haven’t really thought about it just did it , but can see why I don’t need to x

I can’t lie I do just wash the plates, but I do sterilise the cutlery and cups

Thank you everyone... I agree that there probably isn't much point but have become very attached to my cold water steriliser and find I pop all sorts in there😂. I think I'll just stick to washing up!
