Our simple answer is yes it is enough, boiling water kills the bacteria. If you want to you can buy a sterilizer at any baby store and use it, but we have found through talking to mothers that many didn't use conventional sterilisers they simply used boiling water just like their mothers before them it is interesting to note that most of the first time mums who responded said that they used a steriliser, and most second and third water.
Process
Before using bottles, nipples, and rings, you should submerge them in a pot of boiling water for at least five minutes. Then allow them to dry on a clean towel. After that, a good cleaning in hot, soapy water or a cycle through the dishwasher should be enough. The choice of how to clean them is yours it is just important that they are cleaned thoroughly.
