The baby has digestive problems, and Xiao Pan panics
"Indigestion may be related to food hygiene, and I need to know my child's daily eating and bottle cleaning Xi. When the doctor told Xiao Pan about the test results, she was in shock.
The words of the angel in white in front of her were so hard that it was difficult for her to accept the reality.
Thinking of every meal he carefully prepared for the baby, as well as those shiny bottles and cans, Xiao Pan's heart tightened little by little. She kept thinking about what might have gone wrong and couldn't understand why her child was eating unclean food.
"Doctor, I'm sure the child's diet is very hygienic and safe!" Xiao Pan rubbed her palms, and the sweat that came out of her cuffs drenched her. Although the certainty in her tone was no longer enough to hide her panic, she tried to keep herself calm and told the doctor as much detail as possible about how she prepared the baby's meal and the steps she took to wash the dishes.
The doctor listened quietly and nodded: "Actually, many parents will neglect the cleaning of dishes. I'll ask about the bottle again......"
With the doctor's next series of questions, the last trace of blood on Xiao Pan's face also faded. She couldn't describe the shock and self-blame in her heart - it turned out that the root of the problem was her own loopholes and misconceptions about bottle cleaning!
At this time, she only felt that her legs were weak, and she almost wanted to fall to the ground. She put so much effort into the health of her child, but in the end she still let the baby eat bacteria, which made her feel painful.
Xiao Pan blamed himself for thinking that if the doctor did not point out the importance of bottle cleaning in time, he would have kept his child in a health threat.
The doctor pointed to the root cause of the problem - improper cleaning of the bottle
The doctor carefully recorded the bottle cleaning process described by Xiao Pan in his notebook, and nodded from time to time as he listened.
After listening, the doctor pushed his glasses and said to Xiao Pan with great certainty: "I have been diagnosed that the reason why your daughter has indigestion is because the bottle is not cleaned properly, resulting in a large number of bacteria remaining.
"W-What?" Xiao Pan's eyes widened, a little incredulous, "But doctor, I wash the inside and outside of the bottle very carefully every time!"
"Yes, you've done a good job of cleaning your appearance, but you may have overlooked some important aspects that led to the consequences you are now. "Many parents have made such mistakes, so don't blame yourself, now is the time to correct them."
A series of analyses made Xiao Pan's eyes widen in astonishment. She had never thought about these issues before, and had always thought that a clean appearance was safe and hygienic. Now the doctor has made her mistakes step by step, which makes her eyes red, and it is difficult for her to accept the serious mistakes she has committed.
"Pan Pan, don't be sad, this can be corrected. Seeing that she was depressed, the doctor comforted her softly, "I'll teach you the correct way to clean the bottle to ensure the health of the baby in the future."
Hearing this, Xiao Pan nodded frequently with red eyes. She is determined to start a new life from now on and strictly follow the doctor's advice to create a clean and hygienic feeding environment for her baby.
Wrong cleaning method 1: only clean and not disinfect
"Many parents mistakenly think that a clean appearance is enough, but this is actually the biggest misunderstanding. The doctor pushed his glasses and said, "The bottle looks clean on the outside, but it is not sterilized, and there will be many invisible bacteria left."
In a warm and humid environment, these bacteria multiply and grow rapidly, eventually becoming pathogens that can directly cause illness in babies.
Pan clenched her fingers tightly, realizing for the first time that a clean-looking baby bottle could have so many bacteria left.
"In fact, the rate at which bacteria can grow is quite staggering. "In the right environment, some bacteria can divide every 20 minutes, which means that the number of bacteria may multiply in a very short period of time."
If not killed in time, babies can be exposed to these bacteria through the pacifier, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Hearing this, Xiao Pan couldn't help but gasp, she really didn't expect the misunderstanding to be so serious. Surface cleaning alone can breed thousands of bacteria in a short period of time.
"That's why it's so important to disinfect this step with the right cleaning method. The doctor calmly concludes: "Only by killing all the bacteria in the bottle can we create a truly clean and safe feeding environment for the baby."
There can be no ambiguity about this.
Xiao Pan nodded heavily, she deeply realized the serious consequences of just cleaning and not disinfecting. This wrong way must be corrected, and it will also be an important lesson for her as a responsible mother.
Wrong cleaning method 2: Incomplete cleaning
"In addition to not disinfecting, not cleaning thoroughly is also a mistake that many parents tend to make. The doctor took out a model baby bottle and pointed to the components on it for Xiao Pan to analyze, "Many people only pay attention to the cleaning of the appearance and the main body, but the pacifier, the inner wall of the bottle cap, the anti-colic tube and other areas are very easy to be ignored."
Xiao Pan took the model bottle and looked at it carefully, and she was surprised to find that stains were indeed easy to accumulate on the surface or crevices of these components, and it was difficult to pay attention to the "dead corners" outside the main body.
"That's the crux of the matter. The doctor pushed his glasses and said, "These areas that are easy to ignore are the most likely breeding grounds for bacteria.
The structure of the nipple surface and bottle cap is complex, and the residual milk stains will quickly rot in the gaps; The anti-colic tube is small and long, and once there are milk stains left in it, it is not easy to clean.
A series of analyses opened Xiao Pan's eyes. She felt very guilty and ashamed that there was a huge threat to the baby's health hidden from the beginning in the blind corner that she had turned a blind eye to.
"So when we wash the bottle, we have to check every part and carefully clean up any possible dead spots. "In particular, use a special bottle brush or cotton swab to clean these parts to ensure that the cleaning is 360 degrees comprehensive and thorough, so as to eliminate the possibility of missing a large number of pathogenic sources."
Wrong cleaning method 3: not cleaning in time
"In addition to improper methods, many parents are also prone to problems with the timing of execution. The doctor put down the model bottle and said solemnly.
"Execution time?" Xiao Pan was a little puzzled.
"Yes. The doctor nodded, "Many people have severe procrastination and like to leave used bottles for a while before washing, but they don't know that this retention period creates excellent conditions for bacteria to grow."
"This ...... Does it matter?" Pan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course it's a big deal. The doctor was unrelenting in pointing out her blind spot, "The milk left in the bottle is very rich in nutrients, which provides abundant nutrients for the rapid multiplication of bacteria.
Seeing that Xiao Pan was dumbfounded to the point of losing his voice, the doctor continued to say gently: "So we must develop good hygiene Xi, and the used feeding bottles must be cleaned and disinfected in time to eliminate the possibility of bacterial breeding."
Only in this way can we create a truly safe feeding environment for your baby.
Xiao Pan, who fell into the ice cellar, finally understood and remembered this cruel fact: the timely cleaning of the bottle is closely related to the baby's health, and the slightest carelessness may cause an irreparable tragedy.
She hung her head and wept silently, her previous self was too negligent, but from now on, she will definitely correct these mistakes and protect her most beloved treasure.
The right way to clean your bottle
After listening to the doctor's analysis of common mistakes, Xiao Pan finally understood how important it is to have proper bottle cleaning. She nodded heavily and insisted that the doctor teach her the correct operation in detail.
The doctor was also very pleased to see her like this, so he took out the cleaning diagram of the baby bottle he designed and explained it to Xiao Pankop step by step:
"First of all, the bottle should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, and the surface, crevices and pipes of each part should be thoroughly cleaned......," the doctor said as he marked the diagram, and Xiao Pan followed the diagram to carefully Xi learn each step, for fear of missing any detail.
"The second step after cleaning is to disinfect. This step must not be overlooked. "It is recommended to use high-temperature sterilization to sterilize the individual parts and the assembled whole bottle in a sterilizer and keep it warm in boiling water for more than 10 minutes, which can effectively kill all bacteria."
"I see!" Xiao Pan suddenly realized that she finally understood the important difference between simple cleaning and disinfection and sterilization.
"The last step is natural air drying. The doctor's illustration is easy to understand, "Just rinse with boiling water again before drinking, so that you can ensure that the milk your baby eats and the bottle you touch is microbiologically safe."
After reading the cleaning diagram, Xiao Pan raised his arm high and made a "hook" heroically.
Other precautions for bottle cleaning
"Getting the cleaning method right is the most important thing, but there are a few other considerations that can't be overlooked. After explaining the process, the doctor continued to remind gently.
"What else?" Xiao Pan hurriedly took out his notebook and prepared to record.
"The first thing is to pay attention to the material of the bottle. "Glass bottles can be sterilized in a variety of ways, but plastic bottles can be deformed when sterilized at high temperatures, so it's important to distinguish between them."
"I see!" Xiao Pan hurriedly noted down this key difference.
"Secondly, each component of the bottle is made of a different material. The doctor continued, "The body of the bottle is glass or plastic, and the cap and pacifier are soft rubber, so the brushing and disinfection methods should not be mixed, so be sure to wash them separately."
"Uh-huh!" Xiao Pan recorded it with relish, for fear of missing a word.
"Thirdly, you have to use a special bottle brush. "Don't mix it with other household brushes, as this will make the cleaning effect less effective." The dedicated bottle brush makes it easier to clean all areas, especially the corners of the nipple.
After listening to this series of precautions, Xiao Pan suddenly realized that the cleanliness of the milk bottle was so exquisite, and there were so many places that needed to be paid attention to. She looked at the notebook she had memorized, and her heart was filled with gratitude to the doctor.
"It's key to learn these tips. Strict implementation of my method will ensure that the baby is absolutely safe and hygienic!" The doctor's words have also become the motivation for Xiao Pan's future efforts.
Dietary hygiene is related to the healthy growth of your baby
There are many possible factors that can lead to digestive problems, such as the ingredients themselves, cooking utensils, tableware, etc., which are closely related to the health of your baby.
Before leaving, the doctor advised.
Xiao Pan nodded heavily, and finally realized that as a mother, she is not only responsible for cooking food, but also the correct concept of diet and food hygiene are indispensable.
She looked at the baby's innocent smiling face, and her heart swelled with indescribable love and courage. Yes, for the sake of the baby, she will definitely do her best, starting today!
She will choose fresh and reliable ingredients, avoid using cooking utensils of varying quality, and strictly follow the doctor's method to ensure that the bottles and utensils are cleaned 360° without dead ends.
She vows from the bottom of her heart that she will create the safest and most hygienic eating environment for her children, so that those black sheep, the microbes, have nowhere to hide.
