Baby bottle cleaning bottle cleaning can be roughly divided into 8 small steps 1, before cleaning the bottle, you need to pour out the remaining milk; 2, all the bottles are disassembled; 3, soak in water for a few moments; 4, drop into the appropriate amount of baby bottle dishwashing liquid; 5, with a bottle brush carefully scrubbed throw the inside of the bottle; 6, the threads of the bottle should be carefully cleaned; 7, the net bottles and nipple holders are removed, separate we wash; 8, after cleaning, in the disinfection of the bottle, and then the bottle is cleaned. Thoroughly wash in water 2-3 times can be. Disinfection is not clean may bring in some bacteria, ultimately endangering the baby’s health. The following three major misunderstandings parents must not step into. Misconception 1: cleaning the bottle with water on the line Many mothers know that the baby drink milk after the bottle should be cleaned in a timely manner, otherwise the fat in the milk powder is easy to adsorb on the bottle and nipple, it is difficult to remove clean. But there are also many mothers do not know, clean up the bottle should preferably choose a special bottle cleaner, rather than using water. Reason: The milk contains a lot of lipids, which are easily attached to the wall of the bottle to form milk scale. Just wash with water, can only wash off the surface of the bottle, while the lipids in the milk is still stubbornly attached to the wall of the bottle. Especially for plastic bottles, if you only use water to clean for a long time, the bottles will be easy to odor because of the oil and gas, wearing out the service life. Therefore, it is best to use a special bottle cleaner to clean bottles. This is not only because the bottle cleaner can effectively disintegrate the lipids in the milk, restore the original clean look of the bottle; but also because the vast majority of the bottle cleaner will be using natural plant-based raw materials, even if the baby to use, there is no need to worry about the chemical composition of harm to the baby. Myth 2: cleaning the bottle only focus on the bottle Myth 3: only after the use of the bottle to sterilize We often say that each use of the bottle after the bottle should be carefully cleaned, and occasionally sterilize the bottle. In fact, this is not entirely true, because sometimes it is also necessary to sterilize the bottle before using it. Reason: Sterilized bottles that are left out are likely to be contaminated and grow bacteria again. Therefore, in order to ensure the effectiveness of sterilization, if the bottle is not used again within 24 hours after sterilization, it is necessary to carry out a new sterilization work. The baby’s immune ability is relatively weak, only on the bottle sterilization strict control, in order to effectively reduce the baby’s chances of illness from the mouth. Is it necessary to use bottle cleaner? Bottle brushes, nipple brushes, bottle cleaners and other common supplies for cleaning bottles, in the eyes of many mothers, bottle brushes are still useful, even wide caliber bottles are difficult to clean the bottom of the stains, not to mention the opening of the smaller standard caliber bottles, bottle brushes are definitely worth buying. However, opinions on bottle cleaners are mixed, with some people believing that they work well and are worth using, while others believe that the chemicals are better not to use them. So what are the main ingredients in bottle cleaners? Randomly viewed a few bottle cleaners, found that the labeled ingredients are mainly plant-based surfactants, plus a small amount of fragrances and preservatives. Ordinary detergents are also based on surfactants, the difference is that they are petrochemicals. Comparatively speaking, bottle cleaners are indeed more suitable for babies than ordinary detergents. However, from the point of view of the dirt on the bottle itself, there is nothing too difficult to remove the grease, even if you don’t use bottle cleaner, relying only on the physical abrasion effect of the bottle brush, you can still completely remove the milk scale. If you are using a glass bottle, then it is even easier to clean, you just need to fill with water to cover the cap, shake a few times with your hand, the milk will be basically rinsed out, even the bottle brush is not needed. Whether you want to buy bottle cleaner or not, it depends on the preference of the mom and dad.
