Milk bottles are mainly used to hold milk. As for the milk bottles among the baby bottles, they are mainly divided into glass baby bottles and some other types of baby bottles. There are also many types of baby bottles in daily life. In the purchase process, it is mainly to buy some glass baby bottles, which are safer and healthier. The purchase method of baby bottles is also very critical. Let us introduce glass baby bottles below.

Glass baby bottles are mainly sterilized by boiling, while others are sterilized by steam pot. Glass cups can be washed many times. If conditions permit, they can be sterilized by microwave. This can prevent the baby bottles from being portable and can be sterilized very well. It is a very good type of baby bottles.

Bottle

Baby bottles have a shelf life. The quality of plastic PC baby bottles is relatively unstable. After a period of use, the bottle body will become fuzzy and foggy due to scrubbing and oxidation, and the milk stains will be difficult to remove. Therefore, it is recommended to replace them every six months or so. However, if the surface is damaged or worn, it must be replaced. The pacifier is a consumable item. After long-term use, it will become hard and deteriorate. During the cleaning process, the pacifier may also become larger, causing the baby to choke when drinking milk. Therefore, it is recommended to replace it every three months or so. However, if it is damaged, it must be replaced regardless of whether the time is up. After cleaning the bottle, it is time to sterilize it. Generally, there are two ways to sterilize baby bottles: boiling and steam. The sterilization methods and steps are as follows:

Boiling sterilization method

1. Prepare a stainless steel cooking pot filled with cold water. The depth of the water should be able to completely cover all the cleaned feeding utensils. (Stainless steel pots must be used exclusively for sterilizing baby bottles and should not be used with other cooking foods at home)

2. If it is a glass bottle, you can put it in the pot together with cold water. Wait 5 to 10 minutes after the water boils, then put in the pacifier, bottle cap and other plastic products. Cover the pot and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Wait until the water cools down a little, then use a sterilized bottle clip to take out the pacifier and bottle cap, and put them back on the bottle after they are dry for later use. If it is a plastic bottle, wait until the water boils, then put the bottle, nipple, and bottle cap into the pot to sterilize it. Boil for about 3 to 5 minutes. Finally, use a sterilized bottle clip to pick up all the tableware, place it in a clean and ventilated place, and turn it upside down to drain.

3. It should be noted that plastic tableware should not be boiled for a long time, so it is recommended to put it in after the water boils and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, otherwise it will easily deteriorate. You can also pay attention to the temperature resistance mark on the bottle. If it is not resistant to high temperatures, it is best to use a steam cooker for sterilization.

Steam sterilization method

There are electric steam cookers with various functions and brands on the market. Parents can choose according to their needs. The purpose of sterilizing feeding utensils can be achieved by following the instructions. However, it should be noted that before using the steam cooker for sterilization, all bottles, nipples, bottle caps and other items should be thoroughly cleaned first, and then put in together, press the switch, and the power will be automatically cut off after the sterilization is completed.

After the baby's bottle is sterilized, the water left in the bottle should be poured out thoroughly, then turned upside down to drain, and use a sterilized bottle clip to clip the sterilized bottle, nipple, bottle cap, etc., and place it in a ventilated, clean place to cool for later use, and cover it with gauze or a lid. In addition, if the bottle is not used after 24 hours of sterilization, it needs to be sterilized again to prevent bacterial growth. After the baby finishes drinking milk each time, the mother can first clean the bottles with a bottle brush, collect them and place them on the bottle rack to dry, and wait until they accumulate to a certain number or a size that the sterilizer can accommodate, and then sterilize them together. Therefore, mothers must prepare many bottles at a time to meet the baby's daily needs.

Microwave sterilization

Fill the cleaned bottle with clean water and put it in the microwave; turn on high heat for 10 minutes. Never put the nipple and connecting cover into the microwave to avoid deformation or damage.

The above is the method for sterilizing glass baby bottles. It is recommended to replace them every three months or so, but if they are damaged, they must be replaced regardless of whether the time has expired. After cleaning the bottle, it is necessary to sterilize it. Generally, there are two ways to sterilize baby bottles: boiling and steam pot sterilization. Boiling is a very good method to sterilize baby bottles because it is portable and can be used to sterilize the bottles.
