Breastmilk got asked to thrown away

my newborn is 5 days old, I was pumping today and used kitchen towel paper to wipe the clean bottles so its dry, and got asked by my mil to throw away the entire breastmilk, as she said its not clean... i was so sad and cried. my husband didnt defend me either... But i dont see whats wrong with that...

Yes your MIL is correct, kitchen towel is used to wipe hands by all, so it can have germs or the remains of food stuck to it. So wash the bottle with hot water and no need to dry it so much. if you shake the bottle most of the water goes away. Then u can put the pumped milk in it. Stay cheerful.
