Do you sterilize bowls and spoons?

[woofy55]

As per title... other than bottles.. do you sterilize the bowls and spoons your baby use? How do you know which bowls and spoons can be sterilized and won't 'melt'? Or will it melt?

 

[meiteoh]

No, I don't sterilize them - just wash with soap and dry - which is also why babies should start solids at a later stage - their tummies can handle the "dirt". Hubby and myself figured that sooner or later Eva has to develop some immunity to germs - can't keep sterilizing stuff forever.

I do sterilize it but only once every 1 or 2 weeks. Before each use, I'll rinse it with hot water.

 

[meiteoh]

I just air dry them and keep once they are dry. No washing/rinsing before use.

I don't sterilize. Just wash with detergent and water, air dry and keep.

When he was younger I would rinse with hot water, but the spoons I sterilize, cos' spoon using the avent white spoon.....

As he is older, did not sterilise cos after he is 1 yrs old he ate outside food so no point to sterilise......
