area protected from dirt and dust allow time to air dry thoroughly before storing quick reminder to use the dish towel to rub or Pat items dry because doing so might transfer germs back onto the items

than cleaned the CDC recommends sanitizing baby items once daily for babies that are younger than three months born prematurely or have a weakened immune system daily sanitizing of feeding items may not be necessary for older healthy babies so long as those items are cleaned properly after each use I have a one-year-old at home and we use the dishwasher and it works great for us okay so the fact

and then youre not getting the right amount of powder so thats why I do it like that yeah Im just shaking up that milk in the hot water just to try and kill any bugs that are in the in the milk and I have pre measured at three ounces of cold water which I add into that mixture and then what Ill do is Ill give it a really good shake again just to make sure that theres no hot spots or anything and that should be pretty much at the perfect temperature for feeding so once Im finished with a bottle Ill rinse I pretty much immediately just so the milks not sitting around again or loose tea and block and what Ill do is Ill collect up all my bottles through the day Ive got six of them and start a really really hot wash theyre boiling water I might leave them to sit a wee while and then well go on to cleaning them I used the Tommee Tippee brush to clean just its just the one that I find I like best and theres plenty other brands right there and Ill stack them up on the side of the drain and word first bottles and lets first give them a really good rinse I usually rinse them twice before transferring them into the proper draining board and then on to all the fiddly bits all the lids and all the teeths okay for the sterilizer I did two rings down the bottom teeth in the holes four rings up the middle bottles on the edge and then lids on the top shelf just like so, 90, miles of water goes into the sterilizer and then put the stuff in and turn it on while thats running Ill wash all the little bottles that I keep the water in these are just the newborn bottles Ive got left and then well empty the sterilizer I just polite bottles first and then pop all the legs Id the way onto the bottles and weve got we sterile surface in the lid there and the Rings for the new types of Advent balls I just could have pushed them on and pop them over he rings into the sterile surface and then I do every second teat just so that Ive got room to maneuver and Ill pull them through with the tongs pop them on the lids just like so and then Ill screw them together not usually with one hand but there we go thats not bit okay just low didnt sterilize it again the we Tops go in and then four rings again this is what it says on the manufacturers guide so its how I do it and this time weve got room for some dummies at the top and this is kind of the setup that I usually have going Ive
