I stopped sterilising at about 6 months. I soak the bottles (and teats) in hot soapy water for a little while then give them a good scrub. I still boil (and cool) the water for Morgan's bottles though, however her water at mealtimes comes out of the tap (to get her used to it). To be honest, we could probably stop boiling now i'd say as she is drinking tap water.... ]]> Sun, 10 Dec 2006 07:43:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=93056&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#93056 <![CDATA[when to stop sterilising bottles? : So does that mean you can stop...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=93028&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#93028 Author: AstonsMummy

So does that mean you can stop sterilising the teats too? Or just the bottles? Everynight I use milton tablets and everything gets chucked in a bowl and sits on the bench... would be good when I dont have to do that anymore!!]]> Sat, 09 Dec 2006 22:05:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=93028&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#93028 <![CDATA[when to stop sterilising bottles? : Yeah I still boil his water too,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=92961&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#92961 Author: LockieandLiam

Yeah I still boil his water too, as he doesn't tend to like it cold either so luke warm is good. Gave him his sipper cup with water in it today and he drunk out of it properly for the first time.]]> Sat, 09 Dec 2006 14:51:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=92961&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#92961 <![CDATA[when to stop sterilising bottles? : I stopped at 3 months.

"They" (the books etc) say to sterilise the bottles because milk might get left behind even after washing and grow germies.
So we'll be sterilising her bottles and stuff until she doesn't need them anymore. As for dummies and toys - I still sterilise the dummies. Toys I just rinse.]]> Sat, 09 Dec 2006 09:46:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=92922&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#92922 <![CDATA[when to stop sterilising bottles? : I stopped at 3 months. ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=92915&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#92915 Author: AlyAyde

oh really, that makes me feel better thanks. She has just gone 5 months and everything goes in her mouth so i thought well why do i still sterlise everything, at least bottles are washed, hate to think where half the stuff she tried to put in her mouth has been.

I was told 3 months to stop boiling water and steralising bottles (by Plunket Nurse, Karitane Nurse and DR) even though it says different on the tin. I still use the steralizer once a day though and instead of cooled boiled water, I use warm tap water. New Plymouth has flourogated water and Olivia needs it for her TEEF!]]> Fri, 08 Dec 2006 20:15:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=92830&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#92830 <![CDATA[when to stop sterilising bottles? : Can anyone tell me what age it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4801&PID=92827&title=when-to-stop-sterilising-bottles#92827 Author: my2angels
