dd is 7 months old (5 months corrected as was born at 30 weeks) and I wondered if I still need to sterilise her drinking water. Have seen conflicting advice on the internet. TIA

IMHO once they start putting everything in their mouths then there seems to be little point in sterilising water (assuming you're in the UK).

The advice is 6 months

Are you weaning yet? Once you start weaning they're having all sorts of unsterilised things, so no need to boil water.

Yes am weaning. Thanks for info
