MAM bottles and drying

If you use MAM bottles how do you dry them? The instructions say to make sure they are dry after sterilisation but I question whether this would affect the sterility. Has anyone used them without drying? The Tomee Tippee bottles can be used if not dry once they are sterilised as the water is deemed sterile.

I think you are supposed to air dry them. I just give the excess water a shake off and use them though and we have been ok

I’ve always just sterilised them and used them straight away x

@Jemma I've been doing this too, just shaking off the excess water and it's been ok so far. I have a friend who does that too and all has been ok but recently I've been questioning myself!

I usually just shake off the excess water as well x

@Nicole good to know xx

@Milly thanks! X

@Jemma we just do this

Oh I used to dry them initially (when every6needed to be oerfect and lack of sleep didnt hit me in the face) but after a while I just gave up and just shake the water off. So far baby seems alright 😉

I just tip out the remaining water

@Andrea how did you dry them? Air-dry or with a cloth? X

I have either air dried them on the dish rack or shook the water out an used them straight away I wouldn’t dry them with a cloth as they won’t be sterile any more

I used cold water sterilising for my MAM bottles and never dried them because it said you dont need to 🤷🏼‍♀️

You can get sterilisers with a drying feature now which I never understood as I always saw them used straight from the steriliser.. the whole idea of sterilising the item means the water is also sterile now so why does it make a difference? I’m getting a UV steriliser and I guess they will still come out wet but never thought I’d need to dry them

@Shaynie this is what I thought too! The Tommee Tippee bottles can be used wet if they have been sterilised too.

@Caz thanks! I only ask as I saw that it said they should be dried but I've not been doing that and have been ok so far

@Sarah i have this too! I LOVE it haha

Well I didn’t know this! I’ve always sterilised them and then left them on the worktop as they are. Shake off excess water and assemble before using them. Done that for a year and my little boy is fine!!

i just either shake them out and use them immediately or air dry them if not needed right away. sometimes if they are really wet i’ll use paper towel 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Jayna with a paper towel 🤡 didn't even known if it was good or bad.
