What makes a baby feeding bottle unsterile? if i take it after the sterilization cycle is complete, how much time does it stay sterile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very Quickly: Unless you wear sterile gloves, the bottle becomes unsterile very quickly. Essentialy as soon as you touch the bottle. However, the bottle still stays very clean. Being very clean is typically more than enough to keep your baby safe and healthy.
