Without sounding real dumb how does it work? Once they’re sterile do you just take them out and let them dry off?
We used to sterilise mam bottles in the microwave so having an actual steriliser will be new to us and trying to decide what to go for!😂

You take them out and can use them straight away , no need to dry or rinse they’ll become unsterile , love the cold water steriliser

You can just leave them in the water until needed within 24 hours or take them out, put them somewhere clean to air dry, we have a plastic Tupperware we put them in if it needs to dry like pump flanges, I don’t like them on me wet

The idea of taking something out to use instantly and it’s just wet is throwing me off😂

I let mine air dry on a little bottle rack

I thought the exact same because I think it smells chemically, surely you can't use it straight away wet😩

do you not use the man bottles wet from microwave? You’re not supposed to dry those either

I did with my son because we were living with my in laws and no we didn’t dry them because that was only a tiny bit of water in the bottom.. not fully submerged in water making the whole thing wet inside and out…
We don’t own a microwave we have no need for it and I don’t plan on buying one just to sterilise MAM bottles for a year🤷🏼♀️

It’s sterile water so you can use it wet

mine are covered in water inside after sterilising, I think it is unavoidable using any method

Guys I’m not talking about inside I know it’s sterile and it’s going to be wet😂, I’m talking about outside you all just holding wet bottles? No air drying? No towel drying the outside? Call me thick but it’s not adding up🤣

you can use kitchen towel to dry the outside. Just take it out of the steriliser and shake off the excess water, make up the bottle, and then dry the outside

okay okay cool!😂 thank you!

I leave mine on a draining board to dry, I wipe it down first with a Milton wipe and make sure it’s clean. Generally It doesn’t overly matter if the bottles are “sterile” before use as you sterilise to get rid of old bacteria x

I used a bottle rack to let them air dry, I know it’s not needed but I preferred doing that. I’ll be doing the same this time around (pregnant with my 2nd). I love the Milton it’s so easy and simple!

I think you have to wait 10 minutes once you’ve taken them out
To use them. I just shake off as much as I can and usually the rest just dries off by the time I need to use x

But you have to screw them together as soon as you’ve taken them out for them to stay sterile I believe x

But saying that, the hot water that you’ll put in with sterilise it anyway😂

So we used this on holiday and it was perfect. Washed the bottles then let them soak in the sterile water for up to 24 hrs then took them out to air dry just because I didn't feel like using them wet but at the same time it wouldn't have been a problem.

I use the cold steriliser, it’s amazing really takes a lot of work out of things as you can use the same water for 24hrs. It does smell chemically so I recommend having something to dry them on that’s also sterile like a wee bottle rack that you maybe clean with boiling water before you pop things on to dry x
