Sterilising when weaning at 6months.

[mum2oliver]

Can someone tell me how much I need to sterilise equipment,spoon,hand whisk,bowls,ice cube trays at 6months and how if I do??
Is it really necessary??

no you dont need to sterilise anything, just wash properly as you do with your own cutlery & crockery

no it isnt. have just started weaning ds and hadnt even thought about sterilising stuff! just think how much stuff he is putting in his mouth that isnt sterlised - toys, hands that have been on floor, grass (or maybe thats just my ds) etc...

actually you dont even need to use a hand whisk or ice cube trays either unless you really want to but thats a whole other topic.....

we are blw aswell kristina

Thank goodness!!
No ice cube trays??x

No. And I have necer used ice cube trays (apart from for gin)

oooh, iced gin

I think the advice is that you still sterilize bottles up to one year, if you use them.

I have never sterilised any weaning stuff. I just wash them in the sink with the rest of the dishes - just make sure you dry them with a spotlessly clean tea towel or air dry them.

gringottsgoblin - i suspected as much when you mentioned about the grass

you don't need to sterilise any of that stuff because you don't need to use any of that stuff! but don't tell annabel !
