Question

Definition of cleaning and sterilization of feeding articles

Answer 1

If you’re bottle-feeding your baby, you’ll need:

4-6 large bottles
rings and caps
several teats.
You can use any bottle your baby seems to like, because none is better than any other.

Teats are either made from latex (brown) or silicone (clear), and either kind is fine. Try teats with bigger or smaller holes until you find one that you and your baby are happy with. Teats are graded according to the age of the baby, but this isn’t based on anything scientific.


It’s important to clean bottle-feeding equipment after every feed. You need to clean it before you sterilise it, and it’s best to clean equipment straight after your baby has finished feeding.

Here’s how to clean bottle-feeding equipment:

Wash your hands with soapy water and dry with a clean towel.
Check teats for any cracks. Throw away any damaged teats – bacteria can grow in the cracks.
Wash all bottle-feeding equipment in hot, soapy water.
Use a bottle brush to scrub inside bottles and teats.
Squirt water through teats to clear the little hole.
Rinse everything thoroughly.
Sterilising bottle-feeding equipment
There are several ways you can sterilise your bottle-feeding equipment:

boiling
chemicals
steam sterilisation
microwave sterilisation.
When you’ve sterilised your equipment using your chosen method, you need to store the sterilised equipment in a sealed container in the fridge.

Boiling
Boiling is the simplest and most reliable way of sterilising your bottle-feeding equipment:

Put the bottles, teats, rings and caps in a large pot.
Fill the pot with water until everything is covered and all air bubbles are gone.
Put the pot on the stove, bring it to the boil and boil for five minutes.
Let everything cool in the pot until you can take it out with your hand without scalding yourself.
Store equipment you aren’t going to use straight away in a clean, sealed container in the fridge.
Use all equipment within 24 hours of boiling.
If you have other children, you might want to use this method when they’re asleep or out of the house to reduce the risk of scalding them.
