do i still need to sterilise bottles at 10 months?

[moljam]

i know it says 12 but do people stop before?would it be bad?i cant remember when i stopped with dd and ds1 .ds2 puts everything in his mouth so it makes me wonder if i need to sterilse bottles?

No you don't need to alot of advice (I think RT KANGA got it from SCBU) is that you don't need to sterilise at all as long as you wash in hot soapy water or dishwash. But hv, formula cartons etc say 6mths

so for 4 months ive been sterilising for nothing!wow!tonight i can not sterilse!thankyou!have you moved yet?

No.

We stopped at about 6 months b/c she was scooting round on floors and putting stuff in her mouth.

With DD I stopped at around 6mths too as she was on the move. With Ds think I waited until 12mths by which time he had been walking for nearly 4mths etc.. but was naive with the first
