Sterilizing bottles/pump parts?

Question

It just occurred to me today that maybe I should sterilize all my bottles and pump parts? I wasn’t planning to do this until after baby because I don’t plan on pumping or bottle feeding until 6 weeks PP. Dad is overseas so he won’t be feeding baby those first 6 weeks anyway. But I also know things can go unplanned. You ladies who are planning to exclusively feed at the breast, are you still sterilizing anything or just waiting until you need it?

Answer

I’m sterilizing now before baby arrives. Takes less than 10 minutes and even though I don’t plan to use most of what I’m sterilizing right away, I’d rather be prepared just in case.

Answer

Thank you ladies! Looks like I’ll have something to do while waiting on baby to come! Better safe than sorry!

Answer

Following. I have the same questions.

Answer

I just sterilized mine this morning at 5 a.m.

Answer

I sterilized everything. I plan to BF but with my first I also planned to BF and ended up being able to exclusively pump. So having everything ready was easier.

Answer

I plan on sterilizing before putting everything away. Just so I don't have to later. But it really depends if I get my sterilizer at my shower and if baby waits to it's induce or comes early.

Answer

I'm sterilizing everything incase I change my mind about anything

Answer

I sterilized everything when I got them. Sterilized pump parts dryed them and put them in the case and in the trunk. These days you never know if you'll pop unexpectedly

Answer

Silly add on question, does a dishwasher sterilize?
