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 bottleAfter 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. 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.
