I have already given birth but I have the exact same questions as you. If I am feeding my girl, I will not dry the bottles. But if I am expressing milk or storing milk, I have no idea whether I should dry the bottles or not. But the bottles are sterilized clean, and the water is clean also. I think shouldn't be a problem for it to be wet as breastmilk/formula milk contains water as well. Though I always clean away the water with a tissue first. :\

You have a point - if water is clean, should be ok. Then maybe we should use boiled water instead of tap water in the steriliser!

Cos I don't know if baby can latch on, so bringing backup!
mei2009- i'm using pigeon sterilizer. The manual says to use clean water, which i presume to be boiled water. But i use distilled water anyway. Shld be ok. Just not tap water.. Cos alot of impurities.
Oojo- i did pack but didnt use. But first few days is only colostrum, and really little. I'm not sure if able to pump out. But just bring cos even if bb doesnt latch on, u can immediately use the pump to stimulate milk flow. Anw i read somewhere that u can even start pumping before you give birth to stimulate the breasts..

I'm using Avent, didn't mention what water, I think.. Ya, I'd better change to boiled water and sterilise again just before going to the hospital!
Now I have a suitcase of stuff to bring to the hospital!

what receipts to claim for medisave?
" Or is it only applicable for private?Things to bring:
Identification card
Marriage Cert
Antenatal booklet (the booklet you bring for every checkup) or whatever hospital form
CAMERA
Handphone charger
Hairband, rubberband to tie your hair (My hair gets easily oily and it's damn gross to have oily hair in your face!)
Toothbrush, toothpaste, facial wash
Front opening clothes for easier breastfeeding
socks to keep your feet warm (i didn't bring)
jacket (i didn't bring)
slippers
Maternity pads (or the extra long pads for substitute. the blood flows like crazy for the first few days so this is very important!)
Disposable paper/cotton panties (just throw away after use, convenient!)
Shampoo & Soap (if you are intending to bathe. i did not bathe in the hospital)
Mittens
Towel/swaddle
1 set of bb clothes
(All depending if your hospital provides for bb or not)
For clothes, I wore back whatever that I wore to hospital on the day of delivery cos I changed before I went to hospital. Upon reaching hospital, they took my clothes and I was changed into the gown already. So my clothes can re-wear. Lol.
Most of the things I listed are based on what you need personally. AND there are ALOT of items which the hospital will provide you, so it's best to check with the hospital so that you don't bring too many things! For mine, KKH provided me with disposable paper panties and pads. I didn't bring socks and jacket, just cover myself with blanket and it's warm enough for me (i was in aircon ward). I didn't bring front opening clothes cos KKH provides hospital gowns. And I wear my slippers there. Lol... So for myself, I practically didn't have to bring anything at all lah. Don't forget to bring your cameras ahhhh! Take pictures of bb! ^^
