How are we sterilising teethers and toys?

I have vital baby aqua spray or just use a wipe- not overly fussed on sterilising now that she is chewing everything, maybe different it you have pets

I use a sterilising spray or an antibac wipe, but I really don’t do it that often. Only if stuff looks visibly dirty, or if it falls on the floor outside. If things fall onto the carpet or whatever, I won’t sterilise before I give it back 🤷🏻‍♀️

I only sterilize before the first use. Afterwards I just wash well with water and soap

I dont tend to sterilise just use Milton wipes or soap and water, but I'm not massively fussed in sterilising toys, teethers etc x

I wash the toys from time to time but definitely don't sterilise anything. I do believe that exposing kids to all sorts of stuff is important for the development of their immune system.

I just don’t… just give them a wash every now and then…

I used to be so paranoid over this but literally I make sure no dirt is on it and I give him it back maybe use a baby wipe if he’s lucky🤣 I caught him licking the floor yesterday so I mean🤷🏽‍♀️ I sterilise all his toys once a week though

We just wipe or spray. Or chuck in the dishwasher if possible. What are people doing about sterilising dummies now?

I've only sterilised them before first use then every so often I'll give them a wash with dish soap and hot water, or pour some kettle water over them 🤷🏼‍♀️ like others have said, they literally shove everything in their mouths at this age so they're bound to be exposed to a few germs now!

I just wash with soap and water if at home and if out and it’s dropped I have the sterilising spray which is really handy

I'm not sterilising just rinse if it goes on the floor. 😊

I use the Milton wipes if it drops outside/somewhere public and it’s something like a teething toy she’ll want back straight away and then just give them all a proper wash weekly.

Reading these comments makes me think I’m OTT 😭 I rewash and resterilise even if I touch the part he’s going to chew (and I’m constantly washing my hands!), so yes I was it each time it ends up on the floor also sterilising 1000000 times a day 😬

@Parris I’m the same. Carry vital baby spray with me EVERYWHERE and have the large bottle in the house 😂

@Rebecca me too!! 🤣🤣 poor thing his hands are constantly sprayed haha

Thanks everyone. Definitely feeling like I may have been a bit OTT. The suggestions are very helpful xx

My girl chews everything and takes everything out of my hands to chew so I don’t both sterilising teething toys I just wash them if they drop on the floor x

@CeeCee I do this too, and then do a proper wash and sterilise of them all every now and then.

I don't 😂
