Lara,
While I am not a proponent of sterilizing bottles used for ebm (or pump
parts) for healthy full term infants, there is a difference between
breast and bottle. Breasts have several mechanisms to keep down the
nasty germs - good skin bacteria that outcompetes the pathogenic stuff,
and the secretions of Montgomery's glands which help keep the nipple
area safe.
