At What Age Can You Stop Sterilising Baby Bottles?

Published in Baby Care 1 min read

You can generally stop sterilizing baby bottles around 6 months of age.

This is when your baby starts to eat solid foods and their immune system is more developed. However, you should always check with your pediatrician for personalized advice.

Here are some additional factors to consider:

  • If your baby is premature or has a weakened immune system, you might need to sterilize bottles for longer.
  • If you use tap water that is not treated, you should continue sterilizing bottles until your baby is 12 months old.

Remember, the most important thing is to ensure your baby's safety. If you are unsure, always err on the side of caution and continue sterilizing bottles.
