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.

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.
