Can you reuse milk storage bags?

Babies are very sensitive to bacteria, and have not yet developed a strong and resilient immune system. From a strictly health perspective, we would recommend that milk storage bags be used just once. This is because a reused storage bag could pose a possible bacteria risk to babies due to hygiene reasons.

However, storage bags, when sterilized properly in hot water, can be used more than once. The bags need to be cleaned thoroughly and stored hygienically to ensure your baby’s health and nutrition.
