I've never sterilised them with any of my kids x
Let them be exposed to germs. They need it for their immune systems and it actually decreases their chance of allergies.
I used a spoon for giving vitamin drops so sterilised that for the first 6 months or so, but once baby is weaning then they're presumably also sitting on the floor and putting goodness knows what in their mouth, so sterilising seemed pointless 🤷🏼♀️
The weaning book is read said to sterilise spoons etc until 6 months 🤷🏻♀️
I'm sterilising mine. I'm unsure if you need to but it makes sense to do so.
