I must be the most awful mother in the world. All four of my girls drank tap water that would sit out over night in a bottle. All four are healthy and not a problem. I think that sometimes people over do it with the sterilization and such. Oh well just my opinion.

I have a 5 week old baby and yes you can leave them out overnight. I use them within 24 hours (i think the hospital told me to do that). I sterilise the bottles too.

No, you can't. It doesn't matter whether is inside or outside the fridge, bacteria will still growth. They best is sterile the bottles before use.....Especially if your baby got a sensitive stomach.
If your found the trouble using the Electric Sterilization or the traditional boiling matter.....try using the Microwave Sterilization, it help me to save a lot of timing and simple to use when taking care my 2 baby.

If you boil the water first then it will be sterile so nothing will breed. It's easier and safer to just pop them in the fridge but if you have no choice then I shouldn't worry. Another question is how old is the baby cos I would say over 4 months then knock the sterilising on the head cos they need the bacteria.

no because it breeds bacteria. Healthier than leaving milk out all night though!
No you have to cool the water asap and put in fridge just like if you'd made milk up in the bottles. Saves on waste though.
If you are doing it for a night feed.... make a bottle of boiling water as late as poss - like midnight- and take it upstairs with the tin of milk, then by 2 or 3am when baby wakes up it's cool and you just add milk. Baby's drink room temp milk no prob, so you don't have to go down to re-heat it again.
Do not leave it for longer than 4 hrs though

I used to sterilise, then make up 8 bottles with formula/baby food, EVERY evening before going to bed, leave them to cool, then put them in the refrigerator, taking them out as and when I needed them.
I have two daughters grown up with children and they do just the same - so hey it worked OK for me. The secret is is totally thoroughly washing out the bottles, washing hands, good hygiene measures, then a good working clean refrigerator.

I do that everyday so that my babies milk is freshly mixed every time she feeds. I find it works well. I use a tub that you can put the measured amount required for a feed in. It holds 3 portions of milk powder for travel. If you travel to go on holiday for hours at a time like we do then you dont want the milk to be mixed up then left to get warm (YUK)!!! Its a more practical method. You can buy the tubs from boots.

no. leaving water in the bottles overnight will contaminate the bottles. the best way to sterilize the bottles is by hot water. either washing them in the dish washer will do it, or in the sink rinse with as much hot as you can.
