Sterilising

Stopped

You should sterilise anything that touches formula for as long as you use formula

For those of you who are off formula. Have you stopped sterilising?

Stopped n she’s fine

Still sterilising her bottles because she's still having a small amount of formula, but the second she's weaned off all formula we won't be sterilising anymore

We’re off formula now and stopped x

I've only just stopped now he's on whole milk x

Still sterilising but will be stopping once she’s 13 months.

It depends, if you're giving formula then yes continue to sterilise. I'm giving a mix of bm and cows milk and I'm still sterilising. I will continue until he no longer has the bottles. but he has one bottle and one sippy cup a day so it's not a lot now I just put it in before I go to bed

Stopped sterilising regularly at 9-10 months, we are still on formula/breast milk. Sterilising is such a overkill at this age. As long as you prepare your formula right and baby is otherwise healthy that's fine. I sterilise maybe once every 2 weeks now but that's because he was sick so just to help with that. If you are worried you can just for some hot water into bottles to rinse too to give you peace of mind at first. UK is one of the few countries that recommends such a long sterilisation routine. Sterilising beyond 6 months have a very little scientific evidence.
