i am about to have my bub in 3 weeks and have been advised by the hospital midwives that sterilising by boiling/ heating is no longer needed. has anyone else heard this?

we have brought a basket that the bottles sit in in the dishwasher (when u open the dishwasher... how much steam comes out... ITS HOT!) to steralise the bottles in. Midwife said if dishwasher wasnt handy (at someone elses house eg) then hot soapy water is more than fine and just rinse with hot water.

then to dry been told under NO CIRCUMSTANCES use tea towel ( = bacteria) but drip dry. i brought a plastic spike rack online for 10 bucks that the bottles will hang off upside down on the sink until they are fully air dry.

sorry i feel like i have boycotted your forum. just wanting to know if anyone has been given the same info as me and is happy not sterilising bottles the old way?
