How to properly clean baby bottles
Cleaning baby bottles, dummies and teats is essential for ensuring your baby's health and safety. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it properly:
1. Gather Your Supplies: You will need a bottle brush, mild dish soap, hot water, and a clean drying rack. If you prefer, you can also use a dishwasher if it’s safe for the bottles.
2. Rinse Right Away: After each use, rinse the bottle and nipple with warm water. This helps remove any milk or infant formula. This will make the cleaning process easier.
3. Wash with SoPure Baby Bottle, Dummy & Teat Cleaner: Apply a few drops of SoPure Baby Bottle, Dummy & Teat Cleaner to the bottle brush. Scrub the inside of the bottle thoroughly, making sure to reach all corners. Don't forget to clean the nipple and other parts, like the collar or cap. This helps remove any leftover breast milk or formula.
4. Use Hot Water: Rinse the bottle and all its parts under hot running water. This helps to remove the soap and any remaining residue.
5. Dry Properly: Place the clean bottles and parts on a drying rack to air dry. Make sure they are upside down to allow any remaining water to drain out. Refrain from drying them with a dish or paper towel, as it may transfer bacteria.
6. Store Safely: Once the bottles are completely dry, store them in a clean, dry place until you need them again.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your baby bottles are clean and safe for your little one. Regular cleaning will keep your baby's immune system healthy and happy!
