Is it possible to get infected with bacteria after washing a baby's bottle with steam sterilization?

Patient's question:

Doctor! The baby is one and a half years old. Recently, there was a power outage at my home. My mother-in-law used a bucket of clean water from a bath and foot soaking container to wash my baby's milk bottle for me. After I noticed it, I felt that I had sterilized the baby's milk bottle with steam, and I also soaked the bottle brush in boiling water. I don't know if it will still transmit bacteria?

Doctor's answer:

It's hard to say in this case. The foot bath basin might have some bacteria, but since you've sterilized it with steam, there shouldn't be a problem. If you're still not completely, it's not that expensive to buy a new bottle. Just get a new one.
The above advice is for the question "Will a baby's bottle washed with steam sterilization still transmit bacteria?". I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
