i stop sterilising everything a AROUND 9 months, but when ur baby starts crawling round on the floor they are getting germs all over them anyways, so its up to you, if u stop sterilising after 6 months make sure u scrub the bottles and teats really well

ive been told by my midwife and health visitor after i had my 1st son that to stop sterilizing at 6 months. i took their advice and stopped at 6 months and just made sure i washed them really well and everything has been fine with him xx
