Hello all! I am a new mom, he is 13 days new today! 
Do you use a sterilizer? if not how do you clean bottles, pacifiers and nipples? I really don't want to have another item on my counter, so I wanted to see how others do it.
I am breastfeeding, bottles are used for pumped milk only.

I boiled all bottles and parts before using.
Then I just washed using dish soap.

We used the Tommee Tippee plug in sterilizer for pump parts and bottles. My BFF used the microwave one and just stored it in her microwave when it wasn't in use. If she needed to use the microwave she would just pull it out for those few minutes then pop it back in.

I boil everything once a month or so, but other than that just wash with soap and water.

I got all the parts at the hospital when I needed to pump, he was under phototherapy. Everything came sterilized. I have been washing with dish soap and warm water. I think I will just boil once a week. Do you even boil the white rubber piece in the pumping parts?
