I also stopped steralising at around the 6.5 month mark. She literally licks the floor now 😂 I wash my bottles in very hot / boiling water. X
I stopped sterilising at 6 months on the guidance from my health visitor! Just have a separate washing bowl and sponge and use fairy liquid and hot water and it’s been fine 😊
I’m not going to lie I actually stopped sterilising bottles and cup when my baby started eating solids. He’s been 100% okay, I do use a different sponge specifically for his things and make sure it’s cleaned and rinsed properly. I think you’ll be okay
