Just an update - my plunket lady said i no longer need to sterilise or use cooled boiled water (although i likely still will out of habit!)]]> Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:59:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=777058&title=sterilising#777058 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=776185&title=sterilising#776185 Author: Muz

I went to the plunket 'first foods' talk earlier this month, the nurse taking it said you dont need to sterilise after 3 months (i still do!!) and always to use cool boiled water not tap water - she didnt give a reason why no tap water. ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:03:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=776185&title=sterilising#776185 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=776097&title=sterilising#776097 Author: Mamma2N

I only ever sterilised DD's bottles occasionally (EBM). Have been told by several people to not worry too much about it - certainly did her no harm]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:56:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=776097&title=sterilising#776097 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=776023&title=sterilising#776023 Author: KazS

I thought it was 6 months for both ??

We have good water so i gave DD tap water from 6 months.

I still sterilize every 2 days though ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:44:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=776010&title=sterilising#776010 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=775998&title=sterilising#775998 Author: lilfatty

Water depends on where you live (eg if its town supply). We stopped at six months (but I think its younger), we still steralise her bottles, its just habit ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:36:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=775998&title=sterilising#775998 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=775921&title=sterilising#775921 Author: skp

I think it is 3months according to my plunket book - but maybe double check!]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:43:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=775921&title=sterilising#775921 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=775678&title=sterilising#775678 Author: KazS

At what age can you think about stopping sterilsing bottles and or using cooled boiled water in formula

I know i will likely always sterlise and stuff but it is handy to know if get in a bind somewhere with no cooled boiled water etc]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:29:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28765&PID=775678&title=sterilising#775678
