Stupid question about sterilising

[salander]

Am new to whole bottle thing, been ebf so far and just getting to grips with expressing etc. I have these bags to sterilise stuff which go in the microwave. The idiotic question is -how long does stuff stay sterile for once it is out the bag????

Are they re usable bags? or once only...

If you want to be sure you could just leave the stuff in the bag until you are ready to use it :)

Personally when mine were babies,once i sterilised something that was it... Unless it was over handled i'd happily use it three days later..

Great thanks! They are reusable bags.

I used to have a big ice cream tub that was cleaned with sterilising solution. When the stuff came out of the bag / m.wave I'd store it in there with the lid on.
I was happy with it being clean and away in the tub and, as Mrs said, not over handled. I don't think there is a need for hospital autoclave standard sterilising regimes with baby stuff. In fact with DD2, any of her 'stuff' just went in the dishwasher and that was good for me
