Just a word to the wise - it might be worthwhile to invest in something like this if your baby is a 'nuk-spitter', like mine - don't make yourself (and eventually your baby too!) sick the way I did!</p> I’m from the pop it in your own mouth and give it back to them camp, but ended up with some weird sore throat thing because of cleaning the soother with my own mouth (figuring my immune system was stronger than the baby’s).

When you sanitize you are reducing microorganisms to 99.9% where as sterilize is something like 99.999%. I can't find a good reference for that yet, but I know there is a difference. When you clean at home you can easily sanitize where as sterilization is much more difficult, and usually unnecessary unless you're operating on patients</p> I think the FDA has a definition difference between sanitize and sterilize.
