Yesterday, someone in the mother group mentioned this question: How do you all clean the baby bottles for your children? I guess it's the roughest thing to take care of a baby.
Every time the child finishes drinking milk, I pour the hot water from the kettle into the bottle, and shake it up and down a few times. If you find it unclean, you will wash it twice. Then use hot water to rinse the pacifier outside for a few more times.
Sometimes I am lazy, just rinse it with cold water and shake it again, and it’s done. I rarely think about putting it in the pot to disinfect it. But my baby is pretty good, so I feel that there is no problem with washing the bottle like this.
Until a while ago, I had to go to the hospital to take care of my mother, so I gave the child to my mother-in-law to take care of her. One day I went home to get things, and the child yelled that I had to make milk powder for him.
When I saw his bottle, what a guy, it can be said that it was the dirtiest bottle I have ever seen. It looks like I haven't washed it for a week. There are a lot of greasiness on the bottle and the pacifier is covered with milk stains.
I asked my mother-in-law casually if this bottle was not washed? Why is it so dirty? My mother-in-law said puzzledly, "No way. Every time the child finishes drinking milk, I will quickly wash it.
just take some cold water and shake it hard. I saw that you did it like this, so I didn't pay attention to whether it was dirty after washing it, thinking that it would be cleaned."
When I heard my mother-in-law's words, I instantly became suspicious of the way I washed my bottle.
As usual, in less than five minutes, the friends in the group actively shared their opinions and experiences:
"Wash them with tap water after eating, and then blanch them with hot water."
"I wash them like this too. I take care of two children every day, so how can I have so much energy to disinfect them."
...
I roughly looked at the comment area and found that someone thought it was necessary to disinfect thoroughly, otherwise the child would be prone to thrush and other diseases. And many people also feel that they are not sick after eating, so there is no need to disinfect them every time.
To be honest, if you have the energy and time, it is best to disinfect frequently. Even if you can't disinfect before and after drinking milk every time, at least don't wash the bottle in the following way. It can't be washed clean at all, just for psychological comfort.
only rinse with water or shake it a few times
Some people are greedy for saving trouble when cleaning bottles, and they just put it under the faucet every time. Or add some water in the bottle and shake it back and forth a few times.
This way, the bottle is clean, but the surface looks clean. If you look closely, you will find that there is a layer of grease on the inner wall of the bottle, and there will be milk stains on the bottom of the bottle that cannot be washed away.
, and cleaning the bottle in this way is not comprehensive at all. Because in addition to the bottle body, small accessories such as the pacifier, the pacifier seat, the threads at the bottle mouth, the straws, the inside of the gravity ball are also easy to hide dirt.
If you ignore it every time you clean it. Over time, these corners and corners will become particularly dirty. Even if the bottle is clean, the bottle is actually getting dirty.
Especially in summer, bacteria are more likely to grow. Every time a child drinks milk, it is a challenge to his stomach.
As for the correct steps for washing the bottle, it is actually not troublesome. Every time I wash the bottle, remove the accessories of the bottle and rinse them with water one by one.
The inside of the bottle, the mouth of the bottle, and the edges of the pacifier should be carefully cleaned with a bottle brush. If you really can't disinfect it every time, at least you have to cook the bottle every once in a while.
