@jasmine that’s what I was thinking of doing too! Did you stop using that bowl for other things or do you still use it? The bowl I was gonna use I definitely use/need it for other things
i still use if needed since i’m only really soaking the bottles and stuff in it and just washing them separately in the sink i just make sure i rinse the bowl if i used it previously even if it’s already clean
Personally I found it helpful cause it was less decontamination for bacteria for me. Especially since I couldn't sterilize every single time and have a NICU baby. They recommend keeping things separate cause kitchen sinks are disgusting.
I use a mixing bowl or large Tupperware container. And I still use both for other things/cooking/storing food when I need to.
@Brenda that’s exactly what I have everything in right now is a large glass mixing bowl. I figured that had to be okay since it’s glass and not porous? It can be cleaned well. Thank you! I’ll double check with my provider but I just wanted to see what other moms were doing 🙂
As a 2 time csection mama skip whatever steps you can. Trying to recover and care for a baby is going to be a lot. Do what ever is the easiest on you.
i was the same before having my little one and was going to get a separate dish bin but since i have also have a small kitchen and space was a necessity so inside of spending extra money i just used a big bowl that i rarely use to soak all of his bottles and breast pumps and washed them either before or after washing other dishes with fresh water and baby dish soap
