"It is certainly necessary to sterilise bottle-feeding equipment for at least your child's first year. Although you may think sterilising is rather pointless when your baby is putting all sorts in his mouth, an infant's immune system is still immature and susceptible to infection between the ages of six and twelve months and the bugs that stick to milk curds in partially-cleansed bottles can be particularly nasty. By the time your baby is one year old she has started to produce her own antibodies and is more resistant to harmful germs. However, it's a good idea to carry on sterilising bottles, dummies and teats until your child stops using them."
I am using Milton spray on his highchair after every meal though
One thing I don't do though, and I know I should, is to wash her hands before her eats, as she has a lot of finger food. I just seem to only remember once she's already started eating - hopeless I know.
i steralise bottles and will until just before 1 - then as using dr brown bottles and have so many parts i will buy a couple of just normal bottles and he will start on cows milk (hopefully he will take it ok as older one hated it until 14months when i just refussed to buy anymore formula!) dont steralise dummies, bowls etc just clean highchair top with my kitchen detol cleaner...
