I made a mistake in this video🙈 After sterilizing your bottles, place them on a clean dish towel or paper towel *INSTEAD* of the drying rack like I mentioned in the video - especially if baby is under 2 months old, premature, or immunocompromised🩷 Here is the CDC’s most updated bottle cleaning/sterilization info: www.cdc.gov/hygiene/faq/index.html
Thank you, I really appreciate that😊 I remember feeling overwhelmed in the beginning, so I'd love to help other parents with my videos. Congrats to your friend xo💕
I am a product design student, currently designing a 3 in 1 baby bottle washer. sterilizer and dryer, all of these in a single product. Would you as a parent buy that product? and lessen your hassle of washing, sterilizing, and drying separately, significantly reducing the time consumption and mess associated with washing and drying baby products and the kitchen counter space needs.
Hey, Rahul! That sounds very interesting! Hand washing bottles is time consuming, so a machine could have been very helpful to save time. As a mom, I would definitely need something small/slim that doesn’t take up much counter space though because they get cluttered fast especially around mealtimes. Keep me posted & wishing you the best with your design✨😊
Correct✅ This was my mistake in the video🙈 Sterilized bottles can be placed on a clean dish towel or paper towel to dry! Here is the CDC’s most updated bottle cleaning/sterilization methods: www.cdc.gov/hygiene/faq/index.html
Hi there! Thanks for the video! I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and want to sterilize the bottles and pacifier but not sure how “long” would they last sterilized? And also, can I sterilize and store the pacis in a ziplock bag?
Hey, mama😊 Congrats & great question! I’m not too certain on the answer though. Google says sterilization will last for 24 hours. Personally, I sterilized our bottles a couple weeks before baby arrived! I also kept baby bottles/pump parts/pacis in a ziploc bag leading up to her arrival as well! I would recommend to ask your pediatrician or call the CDC for more information on this topic. Congrats again on your baby🩷👶
Hey! I dont knownif I misheard (I was super tired when I watched this video last night!) However,I heard you say you sterilise your bottle only twice a week!? I've only ever known to sterilise my bottles after every single wash, everyday!?
Hey! Not a problem😊 Yes, I filmed this video when baby girl was 4 months old & we were sanitizing our bottles twice a week. I want to reference these sources for more information: 1) How to Clean, Sanitize, and Store Infant Feeding Items (CDC) bit.ly/3ch3HxZ 2) How to Sterilize Baby Bottles (Babylist) bit.ly/3adWLz4 I will add those sources to my video's description as well for other parents to see. Every family will have a different preference, so the most important thing is to do what is comfortable for you💕 Thank you for the feedback. I'm learning soo much as a first time mom. I'm always eager to learn more. Hope you have a great day! xo
@@StephanieHajal thank you for the feedback! I will definitely look into your references! I do what my mum taught me, however its so interesting to see other mums videos and how differently we do things! Hoping you're well and coping during these strange times! 😊
@@StephanieHajal Hi there!! I’m a mom and nurse, you can sterilize as little or as often as you want. But it’s great if you can sterilize daily. Here is an example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_hwFOgnCZg.html
Hi, Anuj! Yes, the CDC recommends to clean baby bottles with soap and water before sterilizing. Sterilization is an extra step that is helpful for babies who are less than 3 months old, born prematurely, or have a weakened immune system due to illness. I always like referring to this CDC article for all my baby cleaning needs: bit.ly/3ch3HxZ Hope this helps!😊💗
Can you sterilize multiple batches of bottles using the same pot of boiling water or do you have to bottle a new pot of water for each different batch?
Hi, A P! That's a very good question. I would think you could sterilize multiple batches with the same boiling water especially if you had just clean them with hot soapy, water. I know I used the same pot of boiling water for multiple baby items (bottles, pacifiers, pump parts) while I was preparing for baby. Also, I have always learned that boiling point 100 °C/212 °F will kill any remaining bacteria or viruses which makes boiling an effective sterilization method! If in doubt, trust your gut and change the water as you see fit. Hope that helps🤍😊
Hey! I would recommend to allow for the bottles to air dry completely. Or pat dry with a clean paper towel if you need to use it sooner. Hope that helps!
Hey, Genesis! I'm able to fit our 4oz and 9oz Avent bottles in the sterilizer just fine. This video here says up to 3 11oz Avent bottles can fit too! bit.ly/2Tltg9C (at 1:24) Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions😊
For bigger bottles you can boil your bottles in appropriate size pans in order to fit larger bottles. Boiling, helps kill bacteria effectively and prevent tummy aches. For a visual on this I also created a video on how to do this. Hope you find it helpful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_hwFOgnCZg.html
Hey, Yaclilly! The bottles tend to fully dry on the rack in about an hour or so. You can totally pat dry your bottles with a clean paper towel if you need them sooner though😊
Hey, there! We have been using this method for our little one since day one. We have not had any issues & I know parents who use the same routine as us. I totally believe it is safe😊
Great question! It's up to you! Every family will have different needs depending on their baby (premature, immunocompromised, etc.) The thing I love about the OXO Tot Space Saving Drying Rack is that it is dishwasher safe, so I can put it in the dishwasher to clean/sterilize when there is build up. Hope that helps!😊 This is also a really helpful article explaining how frequently baby feeding items should be sanitized: Frequently Asked Questions on Cleaning Infant Feeding Items (CDC) bit.ly/3ch3HxZ
The bottles are no longer sterile AFTER you put them back on the rack to dry. Once exposed like that dust particles. Splash from the sink and bacteria which was in the rack before sterilsation has been transferred back to the bottle thus making sterilsation redundant.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been hoping to make an updated video to address this! Here is the CDC’s most updated info on bottle cleaning/sterilization🩷 www.cdc.gov/hygiene/faq/index.html
Hey! I would recommend giving the top a good scrub with a bottle brush. The bottle brush linked has a small attachment to clean the bottle nipple well. Otherwise, I would recommend putting your bottles in the dishwasher (top-rack) for a total clean😊
I'm sorry you didn't care for this video! This is what works best for my family, so I understand it isn't universal. I will link other helpful videos below if you are still interested in learning to clean/sterilize baby bottles: 1) How to Sterilize Baby Bottles - Babylist bit.ly/3v29nCO 2) How to Sanitize Baby Bottles - ScottyOfAllTrades bit.ly/3tY4lWn 3) Avent Natural Microwave Steriliser - Kiddicare bit.ly/3eUcWFp Take care!!
@@StephanieHajal It's not that "I didn't care" I was looking for a quick & easy to clean bottles (as the title says) but what I found instead is just advertisement of products and very little of the video dedicated to "how to do it quickly and easily"
