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...

to be on the safe side as ur nb is just 5 days or else bottle wouldn't need to be sterilise to drink milk so think better to listen to her cause they also easily have tummy upset etc. u can use ur bm to bathe her or to clean externally next time, that's what I do when they scratch themselves bec of their nails ..or any part of the body that is with allergy. kitchen towel is expose to the environment so wouldn't be sterilise but if it is to clean external body is OK but not internally.
