sterilizing questions

I purchased some of the steam bags for sterilization & am sterilizing all her pacifiers, nipples & stuff.  My question is..after I get done steaming them do I let them air dry & then store them in a ziploc baggie?  Does that contaminate them?  I'm probably over thinking this, but I don't want to F it all up!  LOL!  TIA

Re: sterilizing questions

  • I did that, plush hand washing too (LOL). I dishwased some things I wasn't sure about. I am def over doing it. But I just let the stuff air dry, then stored the pacifiers in a ziploc bag. I stored the bottles, all put together (once completely dry) in the cabinet where we are going to keep them. GL!
  • From what I understand the reason that you definitely need to sterilize initially is because of the chemicals and such from them being produced, so while being careful will help keep out germs, the reason you really NEED to sterilize initially is to get rid of the stuff from the factory, then a dishwasher is fine so I don't think being overly careful afterward is overly important.
