Do these bottles need to be sterilized?

I would. Any time I buy glass, plastic, towels, sheets etc...I always wash them 1st before using.

Depending on use, I guess. I would sterilize because I am using for medicinal herbal formulas.

Yes, up-to 8 oz bottles, in the bottom container there is no divider so you can sterilize any width which can fit in that container.

Yes. They are nice glass bottles. I have ordered from this company twice and the bottles are packaged well.

Yes, I have had mine about an year now. All I do with the bottles is rinse them out and put water in them. I leave them in the fefrig over night and mske the soda the next day. I use them for a year and then replace them, that is a personnal thing.

You dont have to sterilize the pump itself, but you do have to sterilize the accessories (flanges, bottles, etc...). I would recommend buying several sets of accessories so you dont have to sterilize after every use.

Yes - I have not had any problems with washing them in the dishwasher. However, you probably will want to rinse them out first in the sink if there is a lot of dried residue, as the dishwasher might not be able to get the water all the way into the bottles. Hope this helps. I sure love these bottles!

I've put them through the dishwasher on the top rack with no problem. Pretty sure they'd melt during the dry cycle on the bottom rack. I'm fairly sure that they are BPA free because they aren't a rigid clear plastic (BPA was used to make otherwise brittle clear plastics more impact resistant). These bottles are translucent and made of a flexible plastic.

Yes, you must wash the items with soap and water to ensure they are clean prior to sterilizing them. The sterilizer does not wash the items.

they are for sealing and storage, you should be able to sterilize them with no problem.

This is my OPINION:The bottles are glass, so I do not see that there is any issue with sterilizing them. The rubber parts of the dropper, I guess you would have to research what methods of sterilization are acceptable for sterilizing small amounts of rubber. For the most accurate information on sterilizing theses bottles & droppers, I would suggest you contact the company before purchasing.

I don't know, as I bought my bottles one at a time. Just keep them unopened in a dry area and they should be OK.

Yes they are. You can sterilize them in the microwave on their own, no sterilizing tub needed.

I would not. These are sterile when you first open them. There is no way to sterilize them after that.

I don't think it said either way on the packaging. I normally just wash it right away and sterilize only the spout, though my husband has used the bottle portion in the sterilizer several times and it seems to keep its shape and still fit the cap as well.

Yes I understand they should be stored refrigerated, except for the one you are using. That is what I do.

No, but you can put the pacifiers inside the bottles and use it like a sterilizing case.
