Bottles with drop-in liners...sterilize still??

[mara16jade]

Does anyone know if you need to sterilize these bottles? They have the drop-in liners, so I'm not sure if you still need sterilize the bottles.

Unlike this set, they do not have drop-in liners, and do require to be sterilized (which this set comes with the microwave sterilizer).

I'm building my registry on Amazon.com at the moment. Its been a work in progress for months. And I now have 61 items. lol I wonder if that's too much.

I've used the playtex drop ins and I would starilize them every 3-4 uses as the top part where the nipple attaches does tend to get milk on it. [I'd rinse with hot water between uses.] But for the most part - they are definitely easier when it comes to upkeep!

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Oh, and nope, 61 items is not too much at all - we were told to have 200+ items because the more choices people have the better [best for budgets and whatnot!]

 

[mara16jade]

Holy cow, 200+ items. lol I don't know if I can come up with that many.

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Lol, yea, we couldn't - we got to 110 and about 30 of those were just diapers and wipes

 

[mara16jade]

Oh! I didn't add diapers or wipes to the registry! LOL

Would it be ridiculous to register for more than one box of NB diapers? Someone said that they grow so fast, that you won't need a second box.

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Yes, definitely register for more than one.
We were fully expecting to not have a baby small enough to fit into size NB at all [we are both tall and were both 8+lbs babies ourselves] but Sofia was born 3 weeks early and 6lbs 12oz. So she fit into NB diapers til she was nearly 2 months old. We went through a pack of 32 diapers every 3-4 days. So that's like 15 packs of diapers They go through way more then people let on lol.

Plus you can take back any unopened packs/boxes of diapers to Target and even though you didn't get them from there they will give you the store credit and you can buy the size you need!

 

[mara16jade]

Omg. That's a lot of diapers. LOL

Thank you for the insight!

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Lol it is. We had the problem of changing her diaper too soon You'd think she was done going, and she wasn't so by the time all was said and done we'd go through 2-3 diapers at one time

Anyhoo, you're welcome!

 

[mara16jade]

Lol Well, you live and learn, right?

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

Oh so true! Lol
