Congrats on 9 months of BF!! Well done

When brendan was discharged from hospital the nurse told me that I didn't need to steralise the bottles. aparently they did a study on this and they found that steralising bottles wasn't any better or worse for babies immune systems. I chose to only steralise once a week while Brendan was younger but by the time 9-10 months came and he started rolling, he was also starting to pick crap up off the floor. I haven't steralised for a few months now. It's really a personal preferance, If you are making bottles as needed then you probably dont need to steralise. Also I'd be a bit funny about doing them in the dishwasher.... I prefer to hand wash with warm soapy water and make sure that they are clean. (i personally dont like dishwashers)
