Feeding your baby must be taken care of! The baby's resistance is weak, and the things exposed to such as pacifiers, bottles or teethers are not clean enough, and it is easy to contaminate bacteria and cause thrush. The items and clothing that the baby feeds should be kept clean and disinfected in time to avoid thrush.
Miss Liu of Zhuhai recently took the 7-month-old baby to the hospital for treatment, the baby's small mouth is full of white pimples, the baby has been crying, eating badly and sleeping badly. The doctor diagnosed that the baby had thrush!
The baby is fed by the mother-in-law, and the milk is full of white pimples
Miss Liu has been taking the baby herself after giving birth, and because she has to go to work after maternity leave, the baby has been mixed feeding, drinking milk powder during the day and breast milk at night. Last month, after Miss Liu's maternity leave was over, the child was handed over to her mother-in-law to take, and the two meals of milk during the day were milk powder soaked by her mother-in-law.
Who knows that within 2 weeks, the baby will start crying and the appetite will become bad. At first, Miss Liu thought that the baby was not used to the grandmother's belt and needed to have an adaptation period, so she ignored it. But day by day, the baby's crying situation has not improved, the appetite has not been good and refuses to eat milk, Miss Liu saw that the baby had some small bumps in his mouth when the baby was crying, and he could not wipe it off with gauze, and sometimes he cried even harder when he touched the baby.
Babies have thrush, and the culprit is the daily feeding of pacifiers and bottles!
After careful questioning by the doctor, it turned out that the culprit of the baby's thrush was the nipple bottle that the baby fed every day. According to the doctor's understanding, the baby's grandmother will milk the baby twice a day. After each feeding of the baby to drink milk, the grandmother rinsed with water and then washed it with warm boiled water once and sealed it, afraid that the bottle would get dirty. It is precisely because of the baby's grandmother's move that the bottle nipple breeds bacterial mold.
Baby thrush is caused by oral mold infection, water rinsing the bottle nipple can only wash away the surface of the milk traces, and the bottle and nipple will remain milk powder ingredients. The baby's grandmother seals the wet pacifier bottle, the humid environment in the bottle and the nutrients of the milk powder promote the growth of bacteria in the period, and the next time the baby drinks these bacteria into the stomach, causing thrush.
How to clean the bottle nipple? How to properly feed a baby?
The bottle nipple is the most thorough thing that your baby touches, so it is important to keep the bottle nipple clean and hygienic. In case of insufficient cleaning, in addition to easy thrush, it may also cause gastrointestinal diseases, which is very unfavorable for the baby. Here's a quick look at the right steps to clean your bottle nipple:
1, should use the bottle brush and nipple brush for the bottle, plus bottle cleaner to fully wash the bottle and the nipple inside and outside, and then rinse with water
2. The cleaned bottles and nipples should be sterilized with a special sterilizer. If you don't want to buy a bottle sterilizer, you can also buy a new cauldron, which is specially used to boil water to disinfect the bottle nipple, and not for other purposes. You can first boil a pot of water in a large pot, then soak the bottle nipple in boiling water, cover the lid and turn off the heat, and smoulder for 5-10 minutes.
3, after the disinfection of the bottle nipple needs to be dried and then stored, if not dried, the humid environment in the bottle will make the bacteria in the air breed inside, contaminating the bottle nipple.
In addition to daily disinfection, what else should I pay attention to in my baby's feeding tools?
First of all, we must pay attention to the material of the baby's bottle nipple and even the tableware of the food supplement, and correctly clean and disinfect according to the characteristics of the material. Avoid using bottle nipples to feed acidic liquids such as juice, which may lead to a shortened life of the bottle nipples.
1, different materials, different replacement cycles. At present, most of the bottle materials on the market are divided into four materials: PP, PES, PPSU and glass. PP bottles need to be replaced every 3 months; PES bottles can be changed semi-annually if the frequency of use is high, and once a year can be changed once a year if the frequency of use is low. PPSU because the material has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, drop resistance and stability, the replacement cycle is longer than the first two materials, depending on the frequency of use, the replacement cycle can be as long as 1-3 years. The glass bottle can be used for a long time, but it should be noted that the baby may break the bottle when using it, causing accidents.
The nipple is mostly latex, silicone and material, and it is generally recommended to replace it once every 3 months.
2, after cleaning and disinfection, it needs to be air-dried for storage. If it is not used for a long time, it needs to be cleaned and disinfected again before use.
3, baby teether also needs to be fully cleaned. Baby teether is mostly antibacterial silicone material, but it should be noted that although the toothpaste is antibacterial, the dust, impurities and substances with bacteria in the air will adhere to it, so the baby teether should also be cleaned regularly, especially some hollow teethers, the appearance is clean but there may be water, impurities, etc. Inside, these impurities will also breed bacteria inside, affecting the baby's health. Parents need to pay more attention.
