How often do you sanitize toys?

I never used to wash S's toys regularly, but ever since we dealt with thrush I've had to boil everything everyday.

Now that the thrush has cleared up, I am thinking I should boil and clean his toys once a week or once every other week.

What do you guys do? Do you boil them or do you have a better way?

I just wipe things down, or give them a scrub in the clean sink before doing dishes.

Did you get Nystatin for thrush?  We're still dealing with it, but it comes and goes.

I used Nystatin for 3 days, and it didn't help at all. So I got some Gentian Violet, and no joke, it cleared it up in 1 day!

I am hoping and praying it doesn't come back.

I wipe everything down every couple of days (especially if we've taken it out of the house).

Nahhh you don't suck! I never did either.
Now that we have dealt with nasty thrush for a week, I am super paranoid about germs and stuff.

Me neither. Though I did clean the toy that fell on the garage floor.  She just doesn't play with many - her honest to god favorite toy is a gerber burp rag...so those get washed every day.
