So, I kind of did something stupid for no good reason at all...
First, I am breastfeeding but posting it here too as you moms have more experience with bottles and sterilizing ! ...
I just started pumping for if I need to go out without baby, I boil-sterilized some bottles and when they dried there were a lot of water spots making the bottles foggy, I figured it was the hard water so I re-boiled them with salt in the water... They came out much better ! I didn't even think of it and pumped into the bottles... It was only when I sterilized a bottle nipple and 'tasted' it (to see if/how it works lol) that I realized HOW salty it tastes ! I have like 5 bottles pumped & frozen that were salt water sterilized... I am so worried, Is it bad for baby to have all the extra salt ??
I won't be doing that again, but now I don't know if I should keep the expressed milk for him..!
Thanks for any help,
 
Salt can be really bad for young children / babies, so I wouldn't risk it to be honest.
Plus he probably won't drink the milk anyway if it tastes salty!

Sorry, I know how precious expressed milk is x
