I have been trying to switch the bottles to zippy cup but he hates it so much! I bought a few different zippy cups still the same! don't know maybe the nipple is softer for his gums as now he only has 4 teeth so it feels more comfy for him to suck but zippy cup seems he need to suck it harder to get milk water out!

......a simple run through the dishwasher is enough to sterilize them. If you are handwashing then using a separate sterilization unit I would keep doing it as long as he is on the bottle...the can be hard to clean inside and the nipples even with a special brush.

The bottles we have only recommended sterilizing the nipples when you first get them and after that you can either wash them with hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. I don't really think you need to keep sterilizing the bottles. Once you touch it it's not sterile anymore anyway. You can probably stop now unless your pediatrician gives you a reason to keep doing it.

According to the book - Baby 411... the only time you need to sterlize your bottles is when you first purchase them.
Your baby living in your house is already exposed to whatever is in its environment -- washing it with hot water & soap with a bottle brush (or a dishwasher is highly recommended) -- will do just fine.

it is not a bad concept to maintain sterilising the bottles till the infant is 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous, yet no longer so needed as while they're youthful. in spite of everything, you won't be able to sterilise each thing they put in their mouths and that they're going to placed each thing, and something, of their mouths!

The right time to stop breastfeeding is a decision that you and your child will make. Either you or your baby can initiate the weaning process. Some mothers are ready to stop breastfeeding because of work and other scheduling issues. Other times, the infant is ready to stop and begins to bite and refuse the nipple.
When children are over one year of age, they can move right to whole milk. (Breast milk is very beneficial in terms of the nutrients it provides compared with whole milk, so the longer he drinks your milk, the better.)
I feel this will help!

You could have stopped a long time ago.. I stopped sterilizing my sons when he was about 3 months old.
Good Luck!

It says on the milk box that you can stop after 6 months so you should be fine now.

Always do it if it is a new bottle. You also need to get him off of bottles. Try no spill sippy cups.

If your baby is one year old, you should stop giving him bottles altogether. You should go straight to a sippy cup.
