I'm a new mum. Just want to ask do i need to dry the milk bottles after sterilizing?

There is no need to wipe/dry the bottles after sterilizing, just keep it inside the sterilizer. In fact, if you take it out to wipe/dry, you are defeating the purpose of sterilizing because wiping it will introduce more bacteria (from the tissue/cloth/towel) and taking it out would allow the particles in the air to get in the bottle! Depending on the age of your child, you can choose to stop sterilizing at your own comfort level - generally it's more important to sterilize in the first 6-9 months, but after that, it's up to you because they get exposed to more bacteria (especially when they explore and bite things) when they start having solids and crawling around.

You can leave them in the sterilizer or on a drying rack to dry. There’s no need to wipe them. What I usually do if they are still a little bit wet, is to give a few flicks and that should do. Have been doing that for 6 months. So far no issues for my baby.

I just take it out of the steam steriliser and flick away e water then pump into it. Feel that air drying or using tissue to wipe may contaminate it too.

Better not to dry the bottles.. Wipe the interior of the bottle may add germs.. Just left it in the steriliser or keep in storage container..

I keep them within the sterilizer. If I happen to leave them outside the sterilizer, I will sterilize with hot water again before usage!

I don't and use it immediately. The water dipoles are sterile. But don't leave it damp at low temperatures for too long

I'll just leave the bottlew in the steriliser and cover it after sterilising. Don't have to specially dry it after that

It is advisable to dry it after sterilizing. I usually will wipe clean the bottles with a cloth and dry it.

I never ever did any sterilizing for all my 3 boys. 😑 - they are hardly sick
