Baby Bottles

Safe Use Tips

No matter what kind of bottles you choose, safe use and careful cleaning are essential to your baby's health. Bottles must be sterilized before first use in boiling water. Unless your baby has unusual health needs, sterilization is not necessary after every use; careful washing in hot tap water is sufficient, either by hand or in a dishwasher. Inspect bottles before each use and discard those with cracks or scratches. To avoid dangerous hot spots, breast milk or formula should never be heated in the microwave. Stovetop heating can cause glass bottles to burst and plastic ones to melt, especially when supervised by sleep-deprived parents. Instead, place the filled bottle in a bowl of hot water and swirl it periodically. And to avoid tooth decay and injuries, don't let baby sleep with or walk around with the bottle.
