45 years ago , if not breast feeding, "formula" was used and bottles were sterilized......everything was sterilized as a matter of fact. Then foods were added little by little.......rice cereal, strained baby fruits, veggies, meats, etc.
42 years ago in Vermont, the pediatrician told me NOT to sterilize anything at all.......as that's how their immune system would better develop...........whereas with my first baby, in New Jersey, I had to sterilize EVERYTHING...........just three years difference. He also told me to give our son "table food" or whatever we ate.
Actually, that's just about what they do nowadays........besides the breast milk.
So, in a nutshell, moms get their information from the baby's pediatrician.

I neglected to add that the Vermont pediatrician told me to give our baby son COWS MILK.......not formula like Enfamil. He grew up to have the strongest best looking teeth......and so far, at age 43, good bones and is very very super athletic. So much for cows milk. Plus he has a super high I.Q. to boot. Don't be afraid of milk.
