Sterilising bottles after 1?

[AmberM2022]

My LO will be 13 months soon, still has 2-3 bottles in a day (6am/3.30/7pm) all in Dr Browns bottles. He is still having Neocate LCP formula for these too. He’s dairy free and i’m trying him with oat milk at 11am with his snack in a sippy cup but he’s not a fan of the milk. But do i still need to sterilise the bottles?? I obvs wash in hot soapy water prior so just wondered if this is now ok? Or i do have a diana washer too! I read you can stop after 1.

You can stop after 1.
I do however sterilise them every week or so.

Honestly once they're moving around touching everything they are exposed to all sorts of germs so sterilising bottles they drink from seems pointless. Only exception would be if they were being used to store breastmilk, or maybe even formula once made up for any period of time.

I stopped Sterilising at 6 months. Just washed them normally in hot water .
