Do you dry bottles once sterilised?

[30thMarch2010]

We have been washing bottles, sterilising them and then drying them and adding boiled water to them. Do you need to dry bottles once they are out the steriliser?

 

[ellie27]

No, I dont dry them - if theres any water drops on them it is only water - unless you use tablets or anything

 

[Alisha1985]

Nope

 

[MumOfPlenty]

No, I would think that if you dry them they're not sterile anymore..

we use tablets and it says dont dry them. i just shake out excess water, drting them will mean they are no longer sterial

 

[dani_tinks]

Nopes it's just water

 

[dacosta]

nope, i just add the hot water to them as i normally would. i wouldnt dry them as my tea towels aren't clean all the time. i use a steam steriliser.

The water from the steriliser is sterile - so no!

We just use 3 bottles as omar only takes 3 feeds. I just take 1 out when I need it. Shake the water then use it

Ditto - no as then they arent sterile anymore.

JEALOUS - wanna swap - I do 16 a day booooooooooooooo (although they have dropped some I could get away with less now but too scared to get caught short)

We just give the bottles a quick shake to get the excess water out and then make the feed.

Just a quick shake then use. Drying them means they arn't sterile anymore I've heard.
