Thread: Sterlizing bottles...

Actually, seeing as DS only has 2 x 4oz bottles of BMilk at daycare (playtex drop ins) it is actually mainly my two sets of pumping stuff for my PIS and then the two bottles from the day. I sterlize tmy puming stuff for the exact same reason, but the bottles just go on in with the 'baby' items. Thanks for reminding me of that Anissa!

You are a good mommy!

Haven't sterilized since 1 month old.? I read in?a few places that a dishwasher on the hottest water setting is good enough.? But I do sterilize anything that is being used for the first time.

ITA^^^^^^ If that even...maybe just once.

I still sterilize anything that I use to pump and store breast milk including the bottles.? DD doesn't drink out of the storage bottles but I have to boil my pump parts anyway so I just toss the bottles in also.? I also still sterlize her pacifiers every few days.? She has never had thrush but she has had a few instances of yeast on her butt and the breast I pump is very susceptible to internal yeast so we play it safe around her per dr...

I think I sterilized ds's bottles like twice.

Hmm....I had a sterilizer that I kept using till DD was 7 or 8 months I think.? Now I only wash bottles very well with soap and hot water, and at the end I just leave very hot water to run on them inside and out for a couple of minutes and I'm done.? Is that sterilizing?? :-)
