  i don't know but i'd be interested in finding out too! My Lo is 7 months old and he's never had any problems, we are still using non bio and it doesnt clean things as well as biological - keep thinking he's getting older now and time to test things. Also, does everyone still sterilise at this age? Going back to work in 7 weeks and could do with knocking some of the more time consuming stuff on the head if it isnt necessary x

  Just bottles need to be sterilised after 6 months but nothing else as far as I'm aware.

  My HV told me that you can stop sterilising everything at 6 months. I still do though, but I am neurotic. When she was first born and bf failed I sterilised everything twice - once in solution and once in the steam steriliser!! As for wash powder, I use biological, but I use a fabric softener. My DD suffers from eczema but the doctor said the wash power I use wouldnt make any difference to her skin x

  I've also used biological since he was born, also non-bio when i've seen special offers. Neither seems to affect his skin. Sterilising, i read somewhere that it's only bottles that need doing until 1 year because milk is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. However, somewhere else i read that all feeding equipment should be sterilised up to 1 year. I've been doing the bowls and spoons, but when i don't sterilise pans, or the blender it seems a bit daft!
