The tubing do not have to be sterilised! Otherwise all should be fine to go in. Uv ages plastic very fast and may turn silicon yellow. If using uv, would rec to use PPSU bottles as they can better withstand the stress https://shopee.sg/product/242594539/5732034154?smtt=0.0.9

I think latex material can’t go in! Spectra tubings do not require any form of sterilisation, my Friend!! Water can’t get into the tubes, pls leave them as they are in packaging!

Yes, you can use the traditional way to sterilize water bottles and baby items by boiling it in hot water

For spectra, only need to sterilise the bottle and the flanges

Latex/rubber can’t be UV sterilised. They harden
