Do I need to sterilise bottles ?

[supportneeded1]

Looking to give dd 1 bottle a day of ready made formula from 6 months-will I need to sterilise or is it ok to just wash with hot water and washing up liquid ?
As it’s ready made is that different to if ot was powder formula ?
Thanks

It will still need sterilising, it’s the feeding equipment that needs to be sterilised regardless of what goes in it.

Definitely sterilise. You can get some pretty nasty bacteria growing if they're not sterilised.

You should be sterilising bottles that you use for formula. If it's just one bottle a day, you could use a plastic tub with a Milton tablet and water, rather than buying a special steriliser.

Ok great I wasn’t sure as for expressed breastmilk I know it can just be washed not sterilised but I wasn’t sure about formula especially ready made Thankyou !

You can get bottles that self sterilise in the microwave like MAM if you won't be using many.
