You only have to do it the first time...Do
you have a dishwasher? Some drs will say
to do it all the time, but it's better for
you baby to introduce them to household
germs...Not bad ones that will get them
sick or anything, just normal things thath
you get too!! :) it won't hurt them. I
only sterilized the fisrt time and after
that I put them in a dishwasher...No
problems with my son getting sick or
anything. :)

As long as you wash them after every use
you're fine. :)

Just my opinion but I would still
sterilize just to be safe, at least the
nipples. If you dont clean them good
enough your baby could get thrush!!

Thrush is due to a thing called "candida"
which doesn't really have much to do with
the nipples...Unless you're touching the
nipples all the time. My son just got
over thrush and hasn't had it since...And
I don't sterlize the bottles all the time.
:) it also has something to do with the
baby going through the birth canal, since
it's a type of yeast and you can get yeast
infections...We all have yeast even if it
isn't an infection.

When my son was little he got thrush and
his pediatrician said it couldve been
caused from nipples not being cleaned wll
enough, nipples being touched, or someone
else drinking from the same bottle (eeew).
Like I said to be safe I would, but thats
just me, we all have our own ways of doing
things.

you really never want to stop sterilizing
the bottles. It is always good to keep
them 100% clean. There are alot of germs
on your hands and the babies as well as
the surrounding area. This is just my
opinion

What about them bottle insert things? My
moms bought me alot of those. I told her
I wanted plain out bottles, but she said
'there better cause they close and they
drink and they dont have bubbles' I mean,
whats the differance? I think they look
like a pain in the assss.

They are a pain, but your moms right since
its a bag you can sqeeze out the air
bubbles, way less gas for the baby. Its
so sad when a baby has gas, you just know
theyre in pain. You still have to
sterilize the nipple and stuff though.
They also have some bottles now that
prevent gas im going to use Dr. Browns
they have a tube in them that prevents
most air bubbles, they are pretty
expensive, but I figure I can get away
with 4 or 5 because I will be
breastfeeding most of the time.
