Make sure there's no soap residue after washing bottles.

  Why are you responding that to me? Are you saying that is why my son was crying so much? He was breast fed, and only rarely used a bottle... and when we did we used high temperature water only sterilization, never soap. The reason he was crying is most likely that he was a big baby, and wasn't getting enough milk initially.

    > Are you saying that is why my son was crying so much? Not your son specifically, it's just a crying trigger overall, along with the other classics like gas. > only sterilization, never soap. Sterilization is a bit oversold. It's the most useful the first time you use a bottle, after that it has diminishing returns. In general, parents are oversold pretty much everything. > wasn't getting enough milk initially. It's common in the beginning. "Mother's milk tea" is great to increase milk supply, but I can see it's not an issue now. Enjoy the baby, they grow fast.

      I agree, the sterilization is unnecessary, but not difficult. I did so for the sake of others that were concerned about it.
