s/o: Does anyone sterilize bottles anymore?

mel72206 · June 2010

We are still doing it, but I am realizing that it is probably not necessary anymore!

I run my bottles through the dishwasher at night time, does that count?

I do this too, and have a sterilze function on it. I figure it can't hurt.

We only use soap and water and baby is just fine.

I still do. Doesn't hurt!

Right now, i use the Avent Sterilizer. I wonder if it even matters anymore.

I do this too! I do sterilize them before 1st use.

Is it terrible that I only sterilized pump parts/bottles for about a month?

Us too - I only sterilize before the first use.

When we went to those baby care classes, they said it really wasn't necessary these days. I have a sterlizer and will only if they have been sitting there dirty forever or some other random reason.

Yup...this is what we do as well. I wash them by hand every night.

I run them through the dishwasher once a week or so. but I do still boil all my pump parts every so often, I feel like those are harder to clean/get more use.
