Here's a PDF I ran across that might help you. Very simple explanation. One word of caution: If you are on hard city water, as I am, you will most likely get a film on your bottles, nipples and rings if you use the city water to sterilize. I would recommend getting a great big jug of bottled water and use that to sterilize so you don't get those deposits. good luck!

Sterilise the unbroken feed bottles available in market in a warm hot water and pour warm hot hotter and clean the bottles. Every time you have to do. Very hot bubbled water breaks the feeding bottle. Take attentive care. Once you do personally giving attention, you understand and know the timing for yourself.

I always boiled them for 10 minutes. I also boiled the water that I made them with for 10 minutes. Water gets contaminated a lot these days and can make young infants very sick. I would definetly reccommend boiling the bottles and water.

My pediatrician told me that you only have to sterilize the first time you use them as long as the water source you are using to clean them is reliable and clean. Boil the bottles, nipples, everything for 5 minutes, then remove with tongs and hang on a bottle rack to dry thoroughly before use.

Bottles, especially plastic ones should not be boiled for long or they could start to melt and cause the plastic to seep into the milk. I just bought the little dishwasher baskets and ran my son's bottles in there. The dishwasher soaps will sterilize them (Just don't use the powdered kind)

I boiled my for 10 minutes at a rolling boil. Use tongs to extract them from the water and let them cool and dry before using them.

They should boil for about 5 minutes and air dry

I sterilized all bottles in the dishwasher, and the nipples for 3 minutes on the stove. That is what it says on the bottle box.
