Silicone teethers

Hi all. I have many silicon teething dummy clips and teething toys, I read not to put them in the steriliser so was wondering the best way to sterilise them? Thanks.

Cold water sterilising tablet?

I didn't sterilise teethers, just washed them in the sink as I figured ds was putting toys etc in his mouth anyway!

My lb is always very sick with his reflux and I do wash them with warm soapy water but was just wondering how to sterilise them. He's only 19 weeks so he doesn't really have toys yet other than soft ones that make noises etc lol but I put them in the washing machine lol! Just figured it was the same for teethers as it was for dummies lol. But if I don't need to then I won't, less work for me lol.

@Reecex sorry lovely I'm not too sure. Hope this thread gets bumped up so you get some advice! My lb was 8 weeks prem so I was so preoccupied with ensuring everything was sterile - so worried about him getting poorly! But by the time he was using teethers he was about 6m and at that point I wasn't too worried with sterilising. Hope someone else has an answer for you!!!

I only ever cold water sterilised everything with Milton fluid. Bottles and teethers. Never had any problems (I hate dummies so never used them).

Cold water steriliser or wash in boiling water?
