For first time moms, here's a tip for you:

Sterilize new bottles in boiling water for five to ten minutes, says Ari Brown, MD. After that you can wash them with soap and water or in the dishwasher.

And I've read somewhere that there's no need to sterilize bottles over and over again just as long as you are sure that your water source is clean. The reason why moms had to sterilize bottles before every use in the "older times" is because their water come from deep wells or other sources that are not safe even for adult consumption.
