We still sterilize bottles/teats, but use tap water. Which sounds pretty silly when I think about it.
We use dummies, and as I think we should sterilize those I just do the bottles/teats at the same time.
Started using tap water about 7 mths.

They recommend 6 months for boiled water now. 18 months if tank or bore water. And 3 months for sterilizing.

We still use boiled water and I sterilise the bottles. The sterilisation is really because I figure that if I miss any milk residue on washing the bottles then they are still okay and safe. The boiled water is just that I leave boied water in the jug and it's just as easy to use that.]]> Thu, 13 May 2010 19:54:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1026271&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1026271 <![CDATA[FFing and Boiled Water Qs. : ooooh thanks Kellz ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1025199&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1025199 Author: MyLilSquishy

I still boil the water and sterilise the teats...just not the bottles. More out of habit than anything else though!! I just fill up a second jug with boiled water and use that through the day.]]> Wed, 12 May 2010 22:10:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1024975&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1024975 <![CDATA[FFing and Boiled Water Qs. : good excuse for a visit if i ever...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1024870&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1024870 Author: MyLilSquishy

Kahlia, you could always try filling up bottles at the Speights tap too, that's just plain spring water I think. Or come out to Port Chalmers, our tap water tastes great! ]]> Wed, 12 May 2010 21:16:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1024865&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1024865 <![CDATA[FFing and Boiled Water Qs. : cool thats what i thought. but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1024850&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1024850 Author: MyLilSquishy

I've heard you no longer have to boil water at 3 months if you're on a town supply, otherwise it's 18 months. I'll probably keep boiling until at least 4, just because even *I* don't like the taste of tap water so why would he ]]> Wed, 12 May 2010 20:47:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1024807&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1024807 <![CDATA[FFing and Boiled Water Qs. : at what age is it ohk to not have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33370&PID=1024771&title=ffing-and-boiled-water-qs#1024771 Author: MyLilSquishy
