how often to sterilize baby bottles and nipples ?

Question

how often do you sterilize your baby bottles and nipples? with my son and daughter I only did when I got them out the package for first use. And than i did every week or so. how many of you sterilize in boiling water before every single use? that seems a bit extra but wondering if I've been doing this wrong all along..

Answer

Whaaaaat. I never knew it was ok not to sterilize them every time. I literally sterilized between every use with my first! Is this real?

Answer

I hate dishes so I wash my bottles in the dishwasher almost every other day. I was told to sanitize them for every use by a nurse. I was given a Dr. Brown sanitizer with a bottle set but seriously... you can only sanitize 6 bottles at a time. It was a hassle so I switched to the Dishwasher when he was leas than a month. I run the sani rinse and I don’t go through boiling, microwaving or using a sterilizer. My day is already filled with chores and being tired, DW is my friend, and I wash my dishes in there too and heaps of his bottles. When he was little I had about 16 bottles. So I went a day 1/2 without having to wash.

Answer

I sterilized all the bottles once a day mainly bc we were using them for daycare but overtime I started just sterilizing once a week.

Answer

with my first two, i never sterilized them.  just washed them good.   kids grew up to be happy healthy young men who rarely get sick.    i plan to do the same thing with this one too.

Answer

Once a week, more often if he has been sick.
