Yep, things have once again changed in the big wide world of bubs. Like Tracey said, there's no need to steralise, hot soapy water, air dry then store in the fridge. Technically once you touch something steralised it's no longer sterile anyway. With my first I used to just boil his bottles, teats etc... he was on bottle at approx. 5 months. Now though, with my second.... I wouldn't bother cos he stuffs his hands in his mouth all the time so it isn't going to make much difference. Also, a bit of dirt never hurt hehe. It might be a bit different if you had a premmie bub, a sick little one or something and their little systems aren't as strong, but for a full term, healthy bub it's not necessary.
