I never once boiled a bottle in my life. Just washed with hot water and anti bacterial soap. Then put it in the dish washer. Let air dry.

New or bottles that I had used, I would wash with hotsoapy water. After, I would boil them then ziplock bag them. I wouldn't assemble them since i was scared the bottles would smell dirty if they were still kinda moist on the inside :)

I ALWAYS boil new bottles if iam not using them right away I put them in a ziplock bag to keep germs off

You can get a bottle sterilizer from Wal-Mart or target for around 10 to 15 bucks.  You just add water and pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes. It has been a life saver let me tell ya!

Thank you ladies I don't have a dishwasher so I may just boil them and put them in box

I got my husband to go, the day we got home from the hospital, to Babies R Us to buy a bottle sterilizer.  Basically it steams the bottles.  But a lot of friends of mine just put the bottles and nipples and rings into the dishwasher.  They sell little baskets that hold the small pieces so they don't fly around the dishwasher.

I boiled them and then put them in gallon sized zip lock bags to store them until baby came
