Dropping bottle

This may be a stupid question, but I have health anxiety and worry about everything. I made the babies bottle with the lid on and dropped the bottle on the kitchen floor. Its a Mam bottle so I know it can let water in through the bottom but I dont know if germs could of gotten through from dropping it. Would you of carried on using the bottle or would you of sterilised and made it again?

It will be fine @CMC13. I would’ve given it to my baby 💐

I wouldn't of thought twice and give them it straight away. Had 3 though and one is now 17 😂 others are 5 & 3 so after the first you do lots that would of freaked you out with the first baby. You just go oh well 3 second rule and if it's longer the seconds rule gets longer 😂. Then you drop other stuff outside on the grass or mud and wipe it on your top or trousers or if you're lucky use a wet wipe and say there you go extra vitamins x

I never used bottles, but I always worked on the theory that I didn’t sterilise my boobs before she put them in her mouth so I wasn’t overly precious about sterilising anything else either.
She’s now 9 years old and almost never been ill so it clearly didn’t do her any harm.
Absolutely do not worry - you have not caused any harm.
