Sterilising
I want to bring nipple shields to the hospital just in case there’s a struggle with latch, but I’m aware they need sterilising. However, I also know that sterilising is also said to only last 24 hours? How do I pack them in my bag ready but also have them properly sterilised ready for use?
I presume this is the same issue people who aren’t planning to BF face with packing bottles? Or am I overthinking it? 😂

The hospital can provide you with a steriliser xx
@Karlie thank you! That’s good to know!

Sterilising is basically the same as boiling .... Sterilise them at home first round (whenever you feel like) and pop them in a Ziplock bag. At the hospital if you need to use them ask them for a mug of boiling water, pop them in there for a few minutes and you should be good to go I'd say (T's and C's apply - I'm not a medical professional)
