How old does my baby have to be before i stop steralizing his bottles?

Always sterilize..: There is no good time to stop sterilizing your babies bottles. Bottles can acquire bacteria that can be very unhealthy for your baby. I recommend that as long as you are using bottles for your baby, you continue to sterilize them after each use.
