How to clean the bottle after drinking milk

The baby must be cleaned after the bottle is finished drinking milk, otherwise a lot of dirt will be bred. If the baby ingests this dirt, many diseases will occur, which is very bad for their physical development. Therefore, the inside must be thoroughly cleaned with a brush every time. Only in this way can the dirt be cleaned away.

Cleaning feeding bottles

1. You can use special bottle detergent or detergent made from natural ingredients, and clean it with a bottle brush and sponge.

2. Milk powder is easily left on the nipple, so both the outside and the inside must be thoroughly cleaned with a sponge and a brush.

3. To prevent detergent residue, rinse the pacifier clean. It is best to turn the pacifier over to clean the inside.

4. After the water in the pot boils, you can sterilize the bottles and nipples. The bottle is light and easily floats on the water, but it will sink if you fill it with water.

5. The nipple can be taken out after boiling for 3 minutes; the bottle can be taken out after boiling for 5 minutes. After boiling, place it on clean gauze to drain and then put it in the box.

Tips for cleaning baby bottles at night

Washing the baby bottles at night is a very troublesome thing. Here is how to clean the baby bottles at night:

You can prepare a large bowl filled with water in advance, then soak the used bottles in the bowl and wash them the next morning. In order not to affect the quality of sleep at night, you need to prepare a few more bottles, which will make the night much easier. When soaking, fill the used bottle with clean water to prevent the formula milk from sticking to the bottle wall, and it will be easy to clean the next day.

Mixed feeding - 4 to 6 260ml bottles and 1 to 2 180ml bottles. Calculate the number of bottles to buy according to the number of times your baby drinks milk.

Artificial feeding - 4 to 6 bottles of 260 ml, 1 to 2 bottles of 180 ml. According to the calculation method for the amount of milk consumed by artificially fed babies, children need to be fed more than 6 times a day during the period of 0 to 6 months. Babies under 1 month old should be breastfed 6 to 8 times a day, babies between 2 and 3 months old should be breastfed 6 times a day, and then reduced to 5 times a day. It takes at least 3 to 4 hours to clean, sterilize and dry each bottle.

If the mother has plenty of time at home, she should prepare at least 4 to 6 260ml bottles and 1 to 2 small bottles. But mothers should clean each bottle immediately after use. If you want to be lazy or if both parents are very busy, prepare 6 to 8 260ml bottles and 2 to 3 small bottles. Then you can clean all the used bottles together every day, saving time and effort.

It’s impossible to decide how many bottles to buy at once. Consider first, the ever-changing “needs”. Glass bottles are mainly used in the first month, but when the baby starts to hold the bottle by himself, the chances of using glass bottles are greatly reduced. If you bought a bunch of glass bottles before, they would be wasted.
