I use these Philips Avent storage cups to store my milk in the fridge. I sterilize them after every use. is this ok? Do these cups have a certain "shelf life" for repeated sterilization?

Been using the same storage cups for almost 2 years, with milk, baby food and other food items. They are good as long as there are no cracks or damage to the lids. These cups are meant to withstand the daily rigors of babyhood :-) But just make sure to clean it, specially the lids. Watch out for moulds too. After a year, I don't sterilize them as much. Just wash them with soap and dry afterwards should be fine. Also, for storing breastmilk, I would highly recommend using, those disposable plastic storage bags (which is intended for bm). You don't need to sterilize them and they save soooo much space in the freezer compared to these storage cups. The cups will be good for packing baby food. I use them in the microwave or use those bottle warmers to warm the food. I am happy with these cups :-)
