had To buy a new baby bottle from boots as Hers must’ve fell out of the pram somewhere bht she was screaming for her bottle and I didn’t want her to wait the 49 mins it takes to go home so I bought a new bottle and fed her with it she’s 3 months is that ok just this one time?

our lactation consultant let us stop sterilizing everything nonstop well before 3 months. A good soapy wash was more than enough

odds Are your baby is going to be perfectly fine.

Your baby will be fine.

Sterilising bottles is generally because you want to make sure there's no old formula lurking there. I'd be fine with a new bottle being unsterilised.

It's really the milk from the previous feed that's the risk of bacteria growing. I would have washed it out, just the same as if I'd bought a new travel mug for myself, but not sterilising it isn't an issue.

she'll be fine 😊
