When to stop sterilizing bottles...

[fifie123]

Emily is 5 and a half months and been on solids for one month now, I don't sterilize her bowls or spoons so when should I stop sterilizing her bottles?

I can't remember when we stopped sterlising, they say keep doing it to a year old but we did it well before then. We figured she was sticking everything in her mouth by 6-7 mths, finding dust bunnies etc and popping them in her mouth, there wasn't much point in sterilising anymore!
We just thoroughly washed with hot soapy water.

i was told a year. Its the milk that isnt sterile. However im gonna stop when she is crawling and i have less control over whats in her mouth
