Boiling and sterilizing the bottle after every feeding takes so long. Do I really have to do it every time?

Bottle sterilization depends on your baby's age. For newborns from 0-3 months, sterilizing after each use is recommended because their immune system is still developing. After 3 months, sterilizing once a day might be enough. At 6 months and older, thoroughly washing bottles with hot soapy water and a brush, then rinsing well and air-drying, is usually considered sufficient. For premature babies or babies with compromised immune systems, the sterilization period may be longer — it's best to check with your pediatrician.
