    I hate sterilising too. If you stop sterilising then what way do you wash them? Do you put them in the dishwasher or just wash them with soapy water and dry???

    my hv told me 1 year but like rosered said...when they start putting everything in their mouth...it seems pointless.
    i stopped when my lo was about 8 months. as long as you wash them in hot soapy water and make sure the teat is thoroughly clean i think its ok.

    Mine have all been 6 months when I stopped sterilising. We have a dishwasher and as long as you rinse the bottles and teat prior to putting into the dishwasher (this will dislodge any bits of milk or powder) this is fine. By 6/7 months, most babies are mobile now and if anything like my current youngest, everything goes in their mouths anyway lol The dishwasher also washes at a hotter temp than just general hand washing.

    ive been told by all of my hv's that it should be a untill there on cows milk for bottles due to risk of infection and bacteria growth from formula. but as for juice cups and food bowls, spoons etc it's as soon as there crawling and eating everything on the floor.

    it seem's like its personal choice really
