    Do I need to sterilize?

    Do I need to sterilize the containers I use to express into? Or is a wash in warm soapy water enough?

    Washing them properly and allowing them to air dry should be fine for BM.
    I did a blanket sterilisation of pump pieces and bottles etc once a month or so, but it is not necessary. (I used Medela microwave steri bags. Don't use the tablets or powders to sterilise.)

    Yeah, it's not necessary.

    Apparently it's not necessary. That being said, I still tend to do it....
