When to wash baby bottles and breast pump before delivery

Hi all. First time mom here, currently at wk37+1 and nesting for the arrival of baby. Would like to hear your advice when to start washing milk bottles and breast pump? I won’t be bringing them to the hospital and also, my husband is probably gonna stay at the hosp throughout with me during delivery. Hence want to avoid the hassle of asking him to come home just to wash bottles. Just wondering how best to keep them sterilize if wash them early now (my haenim uv sterilizer can’t fit everything inside). Welcome any suggestion. Thank you!

You can wash and sterilize 2 bottles then store in ziplock. The rest can wash and sterilize when you reach home. Tip: Other than the bottle cap (the one that holds the teat), everything else advised to put on the lower rack to prevent it from turning yellow fast (due to UV). For ref, I’m using Avent so it’s the white cap that will be on the upper rack, the rest will be below (same for all pump parts).
