no not necessary to sterilize. i use up to 2-3 times at work then bring home to sterilize. i just wipe and use fridge hack with ziploc for it. depends on your personal preference. i believe fridge hack is sufficient and safe enough. My LO is now 18m old growing up drinking BM pumped this way, with no gastric issues or illness.
I’m returning to work in about 3 months time. I’m using the Imani i2 so I’ll keep a pair of collection cups in the office exclusively for office use so I don’t need to carry it to and fro. Planning to wash and air dry after pumping, then sterilise using the Baby Express portable UV bag.
