    Disinfection is required, and there is a similar description on the manufacturer's manual!

    You can put it in a pot, add water to boiling, then put it in the bottle and boil for 5 or 10 minutes. For plastic bottles, you can put the bottle in boiling water for about 10 minutes to sterilize, if it is a glass bottle, you should be careful not to put it in boiling water at the beginning to prevent the bottle from bursting. When disinfecting, the water should cover the entire bottle body, otherwise the plastic bottle body is easily deformed.

    The nipple and lid can be disinfected with boiling water for about 5 minutes, and the time should not be too long, otherwise it is easy to deform, and this will increase the viscosity of the surface of the nipple, and fine pores will appear, accelerating the aging of materials. Steam disinfection is being chosen by more and more mothers, in general, water vapor can effectively kill germs, and there is no need to add any chemicals, and there will be no chemicals left on the bottles and teats, which is very beneficial to the health of the baby.

    For mothers, children's food safety is very important, especially for very small babies, all aspects of the body have not yet fully developed, and the resistance is relatively weak, so it is more necessary for parents to pay attention to the choice of dietary utensils. Families with better conditions will choose a bottle sterilizer to sterilize the bottle, which is relatively more convenient and reassuring, but there are different types of bottle sterilizers, some need to add water when disinfecting, and some do not.

    It depends on which sterilizer you buy. If it is a boil and steam sterilizer, you need to add water, and if it is a dry sterilizer, you do not need to add water.

    1. The boiled bottle sterilizer adopts the traditional boiling method for disinfection. The principle is to boil the water to 100°C and then sterilize the bottle with high temperatures. This disinfection method is suitable for disinfection of more than 120 high-temperature resistant utensils.

    2. The steam bottle sterilizer uses 100 high temperature steam to disinfect the baby bottle and small accessories, which is the most widely used disinfection method at present.

    3. The drying bottle sterilizer is a kind of sterilizer with drying function. There are two drying methods: one is to dry the bottle by drawing in air from the outside, and the other is to use an internal hot vortex to dry the bottle, which does not require inhaling outside air to dry the bottle.

    Such products usually have a timed sterilization function.

    This is not recommended to avoid cross-contamination. The correct way to do this is to read the instruction manual of the bottle sterilizer first and follow the instructions on the manual. Before use, wash the bottle with bottle cleaner, then pour water into the bottle, tighten the cap and put it into the bottle to sterilize.

    Set the disinfection temperature and time in the device. The first time you use a bottle sterilizer, you must first sterilize the bottle sterilizer. Do not put the bottle in it, and it can be used normally after sufficient sterilization.

    It is recommended to use pure water as an aqueous medium to sterilize baby bottles. If you don't have the conditions, it's best to wipe them with a soft cloth after using the bottle sterilizer.

    In terms of convenience and cost, tap water can be used, and as long as the water is kept for 5-10 minutes after boiling, the bottle can be reliably sterilized. However, if you use tap water for more frequent disinfection, it is easy to produce scale, and you need to clean the sterilizer regularly. If necessary, sterilize by boiling in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes to avoid this powdery substance remaining on the bottle.

    Disinfection with boiling water is a relatively common disinfection method, but if you want to use boiling water to disinfect the nipple of a feeding bottle, you need to ensure that the temperature of the water is 100 degrees, so that most pathogens can be killed, and the role of disinfection and sterilization can be achieved. So how long does it take to sterilize the nipple of a boiled bottle?

    Bottles boiled in water should be boiled and sterilized for 10 to 15 minutes. When boiling hot water to sterilize the bottle, put the bottle in after the water boils, and boil for 10 to 15 minutes to achieve the sterilization effect. The bottle needs to be boiled and sterilized every day, and after each feeding the baby, the bottle should be cleaned in time, and the bottle should be filled with warm boiled water after cleaning, which can play a role in cleaning the bottle.

    It is recommended to separate the bottles for drinking water and breastfeeding, and it is not recommended to mix them.

    When the baby is very young, because the resistance is not very strong, so the bottle it uses needs to be disinfected, many parents may find it troublesome to sometimes use boiling water to scald it, if the water temperature is not high enough, the disinfection effect may not be good enough, so it is best to be able to disinfect the baby's bottle every day, when the baby gradually grows to about half a year old, you can gradually reduce the frequency of boiling bottles, about 3 days to cook once, usually can be scalded with boiling water after flushing.

    The frequency of disinfection of the bottle nipple has a lot to do with the baby's physical health, the body has poor resistance to external bacteria and viruses when the baby is relatively small, not only does it need to use boiling water to the bottle nipple before and after each milk, at least once a day to boil the bottle, and after 6 months, the baby's own immunity has risen, insist on scalding the bottle before and after each milk, generally cook the bottle once every 3 days.

    At present, according to the material of the bottle, it is divided into plastic, stainless steel and glass bottles, and the shelf life of these three materials is also different. The first is glass milk, which can be used infinitely as long as it is not broken. This is followed by stainless steel bottles, which have a shelf life of 8-10 years.

    The shortest is plastic baby bottles, which generally have an end of shelf life in 3-5 years. However, it is recommended here that regardless of whether the bottle has expired, it should be replaced regularly, because the bottle is easy to hide dirt and dirt after a long time, and our daily cleaning and disinfection is actually unable to achieve complete cleaning, naturally there is no new bottle clean.

    Although there is no clear evidence that expired bottles produce hazardous substances, babies are very fragile, so for the sake of the baby's health, it is best to replace expired bottles; Cracks in the bottle: Needless to say, the cracked bottle may leak milk, and the damage may also scratch the baby, especially the glass bottle, once scratched, it will be very troublesome, so if the bottle is cracked, be sure to replace it in time; There is dirt inside the bottle: If you soak milk powder for a long time, the bottle is easy to be unclean, which can easily lead to bacterial breeding, so the bottle in this case should be replaced as soon as possible.

    1. Clean the bottle with a special bottle brush

    To brush the bottle, you need to buy a special bottle brush, there are one large and one small, the big one is the one to brush the bottle, and the small one is to brush the nipple. When brushing the bottle, you should use a brush to brush the bottle left and right up and down for a few minutes, and the same is true for brushing the nipple, pay attention to the fact that the lid of the bottle is easy to accumulate dirt in the screw-down spiral position, and you should also use a small brush to brush carefully. After rinsing with water, if you don't want to boil, you can use boiling water to rinse the inside and outside of the bottle, nipple and lid.

    2. Disinfection of newly bought glass bottles

    If the bottle is made of glass, it can be put into the pot with air conditioning at the beginning, and then put the nipple, bottle cap and other plastic utensils into the pot after the water boils for 5-10 minutes, cover the pot and boil for another 3-5 minutes to turn off the fire, and wait for the water in the pot to become warm, and then use the sterilized bottle clip to take out the nipple and bottle cap, and place it in a clean and ventilated place, and then put it back on the bottle for later use.

    3. Disinfection of newly bought plastic baby bottles

    Tableware made of plastic should not be boiled for a long time, so it is recommended to put it in after the water is boiling and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, otherwise it will easily deteriorate. You can also pay attention to the temperature resistance mark on the bottle, if it is not resistant to high temperatures, it is best to use a steam pot to sterilize. The quality of plastic PC baby bottles is unstable, after a period of use, the bottle body will be due to brushing and oxidation, there will be a blurry mist and milk scale is not easy to remove, so it is recommended to replace it once every six months, but if the surface of Kina is damaged and worn, it must be replaced.

    The pacifier is a consumable, after long-term use, there will be hardening, deterioration, etc., and in the process of cleaning, it is also possible to make the pacifier bigger, resulting in the risk of choking when the baby drinks milk, so it is recommended to replace it once every three months, but when it is damaged, it must be replaced regardless of whether the time is up.

    Fourth, glass bottles are safer

    Experts suggest that parents try to use glass bottles, if they use plastic bottles, the temperature of the bottle should not exceed 100, and a special sterilizer should be used. Some parents are accustomed to using a steamer to sterilize the bottle, but the temperature of the steamer exceeds 100, and the BPA in the PC bottle will dissolve more, so it is not appropriate to sterilize the steamer.

    Bottle nipples are what babies hold in their mouths every day, so many parents think that bottle nipples need to be disinfected frequently, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria and eat into the baby's belly. But many novice parents don't know how often to sterilize, so do baby bottle nipples need to be sterilized once?

    When the baby is less than six months old, the bottle is sterilized every time after giving the baby milk. When the baby is more than six months old, it takes two or three days to sterilize the bottle, and the bottle can release a large number of harmful substances after high temperature treatment, so it is basically not recommended to disinfect it after each feeding. After using the bottle for the baby, you can scald it with boiling water.

    Because the baby's digestive function and immune system are not fully developed in less than six months, and the resistance is very poor, it is very necessary to sterilize the bottle every time, so as to avoid the baby's ingestion of bacteria and protect the baby's health. However, after the baby reaches 6 months, if the baby bottle is not used within 24 hours after sterilization, if it needs to be reused, it needs to be sterilized once. Bottles that are stored for a long time are prone to bacterial growth, which is not good for your baby's health.

    There are many ways to sterilize the bottle, you can choose a relatively simple method, you can boil the water and put it in the stainless steel pot, then put the bottle into the pot for disinfection, take it out after boiling for about 5 minutes, and put it in a clean and ventilated place, the cooking time should not be too long, and the bottle that is not resistant to high temperature is not recommended to be sterilized by boiling.

    In order to avoid the growth of bacteria, the bottle and nipple should be rinsed immediately after the baby has finished feeding. For disinfection, you can use steam sterilization or soak it in boiling water. It should not be placed in the microwave oven during sterilization, which is easy to cause the emission of some toxic substances in the bottle, and will affect the deformation of the nipple and bottle.

    Feeding bottles that are not sterilized can breed a lot of bacteria. Whether it is breast milk or milk powder, it is very rich in nutrients, and if the bottle containing milk is not cleaned in time, these nutrients will become nutrients for bacteria to breed. Parents do not pay attention to the hygiene of the bottle, do not brush the bottle, and give the bottle that has grown bacteria to the baby casually, the baby is young, and the resistance is poor, it is easy to be attacked by bacteria, and he will get sick after using the bottle.

    Residual milk in the bottle can cause diarrhea in your baby. The shelf life of milk is very short, if parents do not brush the bottle for the baby, let the milk that has deteriorated, the baby is very prone to diarrhea and vomiting, because the baby's stomach is attacked by the bacteria in the spoiled milk. And if the baby has frequent diarrhea, it will very affect the normal development and growth of the baby, and it will be a great threat to the baby who is still developing and growing, and it will be harmful to the baby.
