I'm the kind of person that probably would have if it were feasible, but no, washing them in hot soap and water is fine. I always sterilized the bottles, and it was almost weird not to sterilize everything else, but you get over it!

Babies bottles should be sterilized up until the age of 6 mths, after that I say it would be safe to just wash the other utensils with warm water and soap. But it is up to you, if you want to continue sterilizing them, do so, although not necessary.

No. Just wash them in the dishwasher or hot soapy water just like any other dish. There is not a need to sterilize bottles either. Washing will kill any bad bacteria.

Just wash them completely and make sure that the food is neither too hot nor too cold. Test a tiny bit on your wrist the same way you used to with bottles or buy some of those temperature sensitive colour-changing silverware.

No.By the time baby is old enough to eat solids it is not necessary to sterilize those things,making sure that dishes are washed in warm soapy water is sufficient.

No.
Your child has probably had shots by now anyway. Also, you don't even need to sterilize bottles - especially if you have a dishwasher. Just put everything in the dishwasher. If you don't have one, just wash everything in hot soapy water and rinse in hot water.

Just wash with well with soap dish.....I would still keep sterilizing his bottles though...on the nipples there are always a lot of grooves and i think its best to sterilize the nipples to get rid of something you may have missed just by washing.

No you don't need to "sterilize" them. Washing dirty dishes and utensils in a dishwasher or hand washing with soap and water will be just fine.
