When the child is born, parents have to prepare a lot of daily necessities for the child, and the bottle is one of them. In order to facilitate the use of children, many parents will prepare several bottles for their children. Some are used to drink water, some are used to drink milk powder, and each one is used to the fullest.
Because the child is still young, whether it is the resistance to bacteria or the development of various organs of the body, it has not yet reached the best state. Therefore, for children's daily necessities, parents will clean and disinfect in time to ensure the health of children.
Regarding how to clean the bottle, I believe that many parents have such an operation, that is, put the bottle into boiling water and blanch it. Because not all families are willing to dig for high prices to buy disinfection equipment, boiling water scalding bottles is both convenient and convenient for them.
However, what they did not expect was that although such an operation method made adults very worry-free, it invisibly harmed their children. This is because there are two major elements that must be used to sterilize a bottle, namely high temperature disinfection and disinfection time. Generally speaking, the hot water in the warm kettle in the home simply does not meet the temperature requirements of high temperature disinfection.
In addition, the hot water will become cool soon after pouring out, which will cause the disinfection time to be unable to fully satisfy. The sterilized bottle under such operation can only simply remove some small bacteria on the bottle, which does not have much effect on protecting the child's health.
First, why can't the boiling water scalding bottle be sterilized?
1. The inside of the bottle cannot be cleaned
After use, your child's bottle must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before it can be used again. If parents are only thinking about being lazy when cleaning the bottle, they can't do it carefully and carefully, and simply blanch it with boiling water. Well, it is difficult to ensure that the bottle is clean and clean. Even basic bottle cleaning can not be done, how to talk about sterilizing the bottle?
2. Damage the bottle
The bottles used by children on the market vary from brand to brand and material. Although most of them look the same, there are very small differences. If parents randomly iron their children's bottles, it is likely that the inner wall material of the bottle will be damaged because of the material of the bottle. Serious cases may also produce harmful substances that affect the child's physical health.
On the one hand, this reminds everyone that when cleaning children's bottles, they should be classified and cannot be disinfected by boiling water.
3. The disinfection effect is limited
Although high temperature disinfection has a certain reason, boiling water scalding bottles can not play the so-called high temperature disinfection effect. When many parents wash and disinfect the bottles for their children, they simply fill the bottles with hot water and simply rinse them once. Such an operation obviously cannot successfully eliminate the bacteria that grow in the bottle. In the long run, it is also possible that there are too many bacteria left in the bottle, causing the child to have diarrhea or enteritis.
Second, how to properly disinfect and clean the baby's bottle
1. Disassemble and clean the bottle
As we all know, a bottle consists of several parts, including the bottle body, bottle spout and handle. If you want to wash your child's bottle thoroughly, you should disassemble the bottle from time to time.
After the bottle is completely disassembled, brush it with a special detergent that cleans the bottle. Wash the food debris and bacteria on the inner wall of the bottle thoroughly.
2. Dry in time
Many parents will immediately install the nipple and lid after cleaning the bottle for their child. In fact, at this time, the bottle is still wet, and the moisture is not completely removed. Bacteria are more likely to grow in this closed and humid environment.
This reminds the majority of parents and friends not to install the bottle immediately after cleaning the bottle for the child. They should be laid flat in a clean and tidy place to dry naturally, and when they are completely dry, the bottles should be reassembled.
3. Use the correct way to disinfect
Many parents in life understand that the bottles used by their children need to be strictly and regularly sterilized. However, people are not using the correct disinfection method. First of all, we must understand that only by using the correct disinfection method can we completely remove the residual bacteria in the bottle.
To this end, parents can purchase equipment that specializes in disinfecting bottles to achieve the purpose of sterilizing bottles. If conditions do not allow, parents can also choose the method of high temperature disinfection to sterilize the bottle. However, it should be noted that in the process of disinfection, we must pay attention to controlling the disinfection time, and the disinfection temperature can only be truly achieved if both meet certain standards.
summary:
There is an old Saying in China that the disease comes from the mouth, which also reminds us. For the bottle that your baby puts in his mouth all day, be sure to clean and disinfect it carefully. If you can't be careful and careful to take care of laziness, then it is likely that because the disinfection is not thorough, there are too many residual bacteria, causing the child to get sick and affecting the results of growth and development.
Children are the most important treasures of parents, and for their health, no matter how troublesome, it is worth it. Therefore, for the sake of the child's health, we must carefully clean and disinfect the bottle to avoid inadvertently affecting the child's health.
