I've often wondered about that too.  New moms in the hospital don't have
access to boiling their equipment.  I think plain ole washing with hot soapy
water once a day and rinsing after every use is adequate when both mom and
baby are home, unless there is a medical fragile baby involved.

next week it may be hot again!  For those of you coming to the conference,
bring a coat for outside for just in case, don't bother with boots, and
bring a sweater for the meeting rooms.
