Washing bottles before baby

Hi, how soon before baby arrives should I wash and sterilise his bottles/dummies and breast pump? How long are they sterile, is it just 24 hours even without use? I'm 37+3 and should probably know this by now 🙈

How many oz to give breastfed baby?

I primarily breastfeed, but have a small freezer stash. If I skip a breastfeed session and give a bottle to my 5 week old, how many ounces would you say is standard at this age? I typically take his cues and will feed on demand if needed… but I don’t really have a concept of how much he’s usually eating.
