This is going to sound really stupid but when can I stop sterilising my little ones bottles?
He’s 3 months old and quite advanced - he’s teething and constantly puts everything in his mouth especially hos hands.
I’m going to slowly start weaning at 4 months as instructed by my GP so he will be eating jars and pouches aswell as ‘homemade’ mushed food.
I’m going camping with him in July when he will be 6 months old and was wondering if ill still need to sterilise his bottles?

Once you stop using formula is when you stop sterilising bottle.

All bottles need sterilising as long as you are using formula, as it's the specific bacteria that grows in formula that is a risk 😊
We went camping when my little boy was 3 months old, we took a bucket and some Milton tablets with us so we could just wash out the bottles and pop them in Milton 😊

If you go camping you can do the cold water sterilising it’s so much easier than the microwave tbh!x
