Sterilization of products used for breastfeeding is very important for the baby's health

In the first months of life and until weaning, hygiene is essential for your little one, especially when you are bottle-feeding. If breastfeeding allows you to have the highest level of safety in terms of hygiene, with bottle feeding it is necessary to pay the utmost attention to the cleaning of all the different components.

How to sterilize the bottle

After each feeding it is good to open and rinse all parts of the bottle under running water with natural soaps. To facilitate cleaning, it is preferable to use a bottle with a removable bottom in order to carefully eliminate any residual milk.
Place all the components inside a hot sterilizer or in a cold solution.
Carry out the cycle as indicated in the instructions for use.
Before use, wash your hands thoroughly and remove the components from the sterilizer, avoiding touching the tip of the teat with your hands and placing it directly on the kitchen counter.

Methods of sterilization

There is hot or cold sterilization. The hot method uses boiling water heated and vaporized through an electric coil or a microwave system. The time required for the procedure varies from about 5-15 minutes for electric models to a few minutes for microwave ones. They are similar to the classic method of the pot with boiling water but are much faster and more practical, especially when it is necessary to carry out the operation frequently and for many products (breast pumps, storage jars, pacifiers). The cold process, on the other hand, involves the use of liquid disinfectants or tablets, specially designed to be safe and well tolerated by the baby. More time is required for this method.

How to sterilize baby bottles in the microwave

There are special containers to sterilize baby bottles in the microwave: insert the disassembled and previously rinsed parts inside the bottle sterilizer;

add a little water as indicated in the instructions;
carry out a sterilization cycle following the instructions in the user manual;
at the end of the cycle remove the container from the microwave without lifting the lid (do it just before breastfeeding).
What is the best way to sterilize the plastic bottle?
Plastic models are certainly very sold, also because they are very practical, but their cleaning requires small and simple precautions: plastic, compared to glass, retains more odors and chemical agents, so it is advisable not to wash these products with particularly aggressive soaps. . Our advice is to wash the bottle and teat immediately after use with a solution based on water and natural soaps and then proceed with hot sterilization. The preferred sterilizer for plastic models is the hot, electric or microwave one that uses the action of steam to sterilize.

Until when is it necessary to sterilize?

During the first six months of age, the baby's immune defenses are not yet fully developed, therefore it is necessary to pay close attention to all the objects with which the baby usually interacts. For the 0-6 month range, therefore, pediatricians recommend sterilizing everything: bottles, teats, pacifiers, various accessories and toys. After the sixth month of age, then, it can progressively decrease.
