Nurturing your child can be done in so many possible ways. Keep
your babies from harm and protect them from any other health hazards
through baby bottle cleaning. It doesn't really matter whether you
choose a machine to wash baby bottles or you decide to clean them by
hand. What matters is you have the basic supplies to do the cleaning.
Prepare the basics like hot water, soap and a good brush for bottles and
nipples. It has always been advisable to wash baby bottles right after
use to prevent caking of milk on the bottle and creating a foul smell
which is difficult to get rid of. This is especially so if you are using
plastic baby bottles. With glass nursing bottles, stinky smell of
spoiled milk can be easily removed.
Never let dirty bottles sleep
overnight. Start off cleaning by pouring out leftover milk and rinsing
the bottle with warm water. It will be easier to clear out bottles with
warm water instead of tap water. If you will be using dishwashers, the
first two procedures will also be recommended. For those mothers who
want to do baby bottle cleaning by hand, still rinse the dirty bottle
with warm water and follow instructions above. Next, you need to fill a
large basin with warm water and soap where the bottles and nipples could
be placed. This will speed up the cleaning process as you soak other
bottles while cleaning one after the other. Brush the bottles in and out
using a baby bottle brush that is not too hard to scrape off the
plastic. Bottles and nipples wear and tear due to hard baby bottles
brush. Move the brush along the edges to remove filmy milk residue. This
will also get rid of bacteria that thrive inside unwashed bottles.
After the brushing process, you may need to rinse off the soap and dry
the bottles in a bottle rack.
Bottle sterilization is recommended
to babies who are affected with immune disorders. Although there are
communities with reliably clean water supply especially those using
sanitized water system, pediatricians still recommend bottle
sterilization for babies until after two months old. The sterilization
process is very simple though. Just fill out a pot of water, put the
bottles, nipples and other feeding accessories then bring to boil for
five minutes. Exceeding this required time can distort the shape of the
feeding supplies especially when they are made out of low quality
materials and plastic. After the boiling, remove the items. Bottle
sterilization ends in towel drying or air-drying the items.
Sanitation
for baby feeding accessories is a surefire way to prevent bacteria from
causing your baby health hazards. The bottle cleaning method seems to
be stressful but prevention will always be better than cure. Securing
cleanliness with things you use for nursing your child is securing
health and saving money. Let baby bottle cleaning and bottle
sterilization be a systematic practice of every nursing mother in
ensuring proper hygiene for their babies.
