how long do i boil bottles to sterilize them
Q: How should I clean my baby's bottles and pacifiers? A: You should sterilize bottles, nipples, and breast-pump parts -- as well as pacifiers -- in your newborn's first four weeks or the first time you use them. Boil the items in water for about 10 minutes, or wash them in a very hot dishwasher cycle. After that, most experts agree that it's fine to wash these items in the dishwasher (keep pacifiers contained in the silverware baskets), although you may want to sterilize bottles and pacifiers again after your baby's been sick.
