You guys still sterilize everything? I sterilize bottles/pumping stuff in the dishwasher, but pacifiers, ha! With the amount of time LO's hands spend in his mouth, I'd have to be bathing him in hand sanitizer 24 hours a day!

I sterilized until two months old. Since then...nah. My daughter has never been sick, so I guess it's working out fine for us.
Eta: I used Medela steam bags for whatever I sterilized -- that included my Avent bottles and pacis.
I sterilize everyday with the medela steam bags. They are very economical & it's easy just to throw things in it. With pacifiers I usually just wash with warm water and baby soap. Sometimes I drop them in a mug of very hot water. And I have arm & hammer pacifier wipes, I use those on the pacifier whenever we are out & about.
I am so lost on like how to clean all these baby toys! What do you guys do?
I use the babyganics toy and high chair cleaner. You don't have to rinse off because it's safe for babies so I just clean them all once a week and let them air dry after spraying. And stuffed animals I tie in a pillow case and throw them in the washing machine when needed (my babes got AR so it's needed quite frequently).
