I plan to go to an all day event 10am - 8pm and won't be able to sterilise bottles during the day. If I sterilise them in the morning, how long will I be able to use them for? If I put them in the fridge at the event, will they be considered sterile for longer? My baby will be 4 weeks old for this, if that makes a difference.

edit: to clarify, I am planning on taking empty bottles and filling them up from cartons when I am there. So I am talking about just the bottles, the milk is not a problem.

  • Are you asking if you can take bottles of milk to the event, or take empty bottles to fill at the event?

If you take empty sterilised bottles, they will be good for the entire day given the following conditions:

  • after sterilising bottles, teats and caps, close the bottles, and put the cap over the teat
  • store the bottles in a clean bag
  • after feeding, store the used bottles in a separate compartment

In reality, they should be perfectly healthy for babies over a longer timespan than this, but taking extra care with a 4 week old is never a bad idea so stick to a one day maximum.
