Arna Ok, ants are probably after the water from the dummies.  They have needs to, and will find it anywhere they can.  Also, by sterilising, there are parts of the dummy that will be sweet smelling not sure why though, and the ants will be attracted to that.

MotherofJWE What's gripe water?  Is it not enough in the plastic container do you think?  Is sterilising enough or do they need a bit of dishwashing first?

Practical-Princess The ants may have been attracted by water left on the dummies after being sterilised. Look around the area where the dummy was - is there a place where ants are getting in? You might need some ant deterrent. The ants may have been attracted by water left on the dummies after being sterilised.

They are inexpensive, however, so I would have tossed them in the trash and bought new ones just to be safe. Boiled water should be enough.
