Do you sterilise your feeding bowls and storage bowls ?

[Ruthiebaby]

My DS is 5 mths old and we've just started weaning.

I always sterilise my ds feeding bowls & spoons before he uses them. Is this necessary ?

Should I also be sterilising all the stuff I use to freeze the food in and heat it up in ?

I steralise Ds1 spoons and bowls about twice when i weaned him and realised what a faff it was.

Didn't bother again and never did with ds2+3

I don't think so - i didnt. i think its only important that you keep sterilising bottles and teats that have had milk in them.

of course not

sorry didn't mean to sound all knowledgeable just meant to give you a straightforward answer

should have said .. no need

I never did. I used hot soapy water, air dried on kitchen towel. Blimey with the amount of food I used to make (DS would not eat from a a jar unfortunately ) I never would of left the house if I had done all that!

No and as soon as they start picking things up and putting them in their mouths, sterilising is a complete waste of time.

Did bottles for a while with ds1 and hardly anything with ds2.

Ok - well this makes my life much easier !!!

Thanks

No, just wash them well in hot soapy water or the dishwasher.

Check out this thread .

er no

Ack - I thought you had to sterilise everything and I went and gave these bowls I bought to the cat for her food as they said you couldn't sterilise in a microwave.

Doh

I did for my first and then after watching what was going in his mouth non foodwise soon stopped.
Cant remember for DD - probably not - only the bottles that she didn't ever take.

Never ever sterilised bowls or spoons, only bottles

Only every did bottles. They need some germs to be healthy

i stopped sterilising when DD turned 7 months (recommend 6 months though but i forgot she turned 7 months!! time flies by)
