Hello! At the moment we are sterilising one bottle at a time and then using it straight away. It’s costing us a fortune in electric (microwave sterilising). Is there a way we can sterilise more than one bottle at a time and safely store until needed? I’ve read conflicting information about storing for 24hours in fridge - does this work and how can I do this safely with the sterilised bottles? TIA! Xxx

I have the tommee tippee microwave one. I can fit 3 bottles in there at once. I usually do all 3 then keep the lid on top of the steriliser once finished to keep them contained. They will stay sterilised for 24 hours this way x

You can sterilise all bottles in one go then use them as needed as long as you keep them in a clean environment (i use a cleaned storage tub😂). Also if you sterilise then pre-make bottles for the day then they’re ok in the fridge for 24h x

Milton sterilising unit - fill the tub with water everyday and pop a tablet in, can fit in a few bottles depending on size x

I use a Milton sterilising bucket, you fill it with cold water and I use Milton solution or tablets and that lasts 24 hours. You can buy it on Amazon or boots

do you use the bottles straight from the sterilising fluid? I’ve tried it and they smell of bleach so wondering if you’re meant to rinse it off?

I microwave mine at the end of the day and then dry them and store them in the cupboard and use as needed

I sterilise mine all at the same time (I have the mam self sterilising ones) then I make them and store in the fridge for 24 hours xxx
