Hi Nikbrad!

I took my son to the paediatric gastroenterologist when he was 4 months old, due to bad wind and reflux. He said I could stop sterilising then, as it was okay to get bubs exposed to some bugs. He also said he could have some tapwater then too. He said that creating a too sterile environment probably causes more problems than it solves. He referenced studies where people who live in third world countries have been less sick later in life, than those in more sterile environments due to gastrointestinal (I think!) inflammation due to not being exposed to these bugs before and not having such a stregthened immune system. So I haven't sterilised since then and he's been healthier than his 3 year old sister!!!
