Well Water and Cleaning Bottles/pump Parts

Well, city water has a bit of chlorine in it which probably has some germ-killing power. I've never heard about the city v. well-water thing for sterilizing.

I sterilized everything every night using the Avent microwave sterilizer, a wonderful invention. (Before that, I boiled nipples and pump parts - which led to at least one pan full of melted nipples. Never trust a woman who is sleep deprived and hormonal to also keep track of hot stuff on the stove.)

Congratulations on your new baby!

Well, we had a well when our son was born and I sterilized the bottles, nipples and pacifiers. I was soooo grateful when we moved to a house with city-water!

I guess if you don't drink it for the taste, probably best to sterilize...in my opinion.

I hope that you have more than one or two bottles with nipples etc. If not, my suggestion would be to get some more. Sterylize in advance that way you just have to do it once at night and be done with it for the next day.

Sterilize EVERY time, not just daily.
