Dear readers, today we are going to ** a topic that every parent cares about - how to properly sterilize the bottle. This is not only the foundation for the healthy growth of the baby, but also an important lesson in the road of parenting for novice parents.
1. Why sterilize baby bottles?
Let's start with a brief science popularization. The bottle is an important appliance for your baby's daily use, and it comes into direct contact with your baby's mouth and food. If the bottle is not cleaned thoroughly, it is easy to breed bacteria and microorganisms, which can affect the health of the baby's digestive system and may even lead to diseases such as gastroenteritis.
Second, the method of disinfection of feeding bottles
There are several main methods of bottle sterilization:
Sterilize by boiling: Place the bottle and nipple in a large pot, cover with water and boil for 10-15 minutes. This method is simple and easy, but it is important to note that the boiling time should not be too long to avoid damaging the bottle.
Steam sterilization: Using a special steam sterilizer can kill bacteria on the bottle more evenly and effectively. When operating, it is necessary to follow the product manual.
Microwave disinfection: There are special microwave disinfection kits on the market, which are suitable for rapid disinfection. However, make sure that the material of the bottle is suitable for use in the microwave.
3. Storage after disinfection
After the bottle is sterilized, how it is stored is also important. It is best practice to keep sterilized bottles in a clean, dry, dark place or in a dedicated locker. Avoid direct exposure to the air to avoid secondary pollution.
Fourth, the frequency of disinfection
For newborns, it is recommended to disinfect after each use. As your baby gets older, the frequency of disinfection can be gradually reduced. But in any case, the importance of daily cleaning cannot be overlooked.
Dear moms and dads, the correct way to sterilize the bottle is not only related to the baby's health, but also the embodiment of our love.
