Sterilising equipment

[Scubes]

Just getting my head round weaning (or trying to!) Fed up of reading some many different guidelines to be quite honest!

Anyway, think we're nearly about to start, waiting for a few more cues from lo. Confused about what to sterilise, how to sterilise and for how long.

Am going to make purees in normal ice cube trays - so should these be sterilised? Was then going to open freeze and put in bags but have read that they should be put in sterilised containers in freezer - aargh!

My personal feeling is the world has gone a little bit mad with sterilising. I wasn't going to sterilise spoons, bowls etc.

If I do sterilise ice cube trays and containers when can I stop?

I don't sterilise anything apart from DS's bottles. We are doing BLW so not much in terms of utensils anyway but I take the view that by this age everything they get hold of goes in their mouth anyway so no point...

I think current advice is only to sterilize bottles after 6 months, not anything else.

That's all I did anyway, although I did do the sippy cup he had milk out of too.
