Are bottle sterilizers really neccessary?

rnfromtn

I am looking at my registry, and thinking that I don't even have the space for a bottle sterilizer, much less am I even going to use one if I am breast feeding?  What do you guys think?  I am thinking I will probably un-register for it...

IMO they aren't necessary. We always just threw them a pot of boiling water for 5-10 minutes.

No, boiling water does the same thing.

Dishwasher. Sterilizes them every time. No problems on our side!

But, I agree with PP, you can always boil them, too!

Boiling water. What they ARE good for is sanitizing toys and stuff. If you dont want to take the time to bleach them, etc. I have a dry sanitizer and if DS friend comes over and then  "magically" is sick AFTER coming to my house. I throw what she touched in there and sanitize it. LOL

no, such a waste of money and space.

I don't have a dishwasher so I'll probably go for a cheap one.  They are so inexpensive that I may not even put it on the registry.

or there are microwaveable bags that work too.
