Nowadays, there are many kinds of baby bottle sterilizers on the market. The shape is unique and the brands are numerous. So what kind of bottle sterilizer is good? Let Xiaobian take you to understand how to use the bottle sterilizer.

Which is better?

1, steam sterilization pot

Disinfection principle: Take the principle of high temperature sterilization, put water into the disinfection pot, heat it to produce water vapor, to eliminate bacteria. A bracket is attached to the sterilizer for placing the bottle and the nipple.

Take time: about 15 minutes

Instructions for use: After disinfection, the water in the sterilizer should be drained to avoid breeding bacteria. Because the milk protein in milk is highly nutritious, it is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, after using the mother, please pay attention to the water in the sterilizer and keep it dry.

2, steam + drying disinfection pot

Disinfection principle: use steam high temperature sterilization, and then dry. It can prevent the milk protein in the bottle from remaining in the bottom of the steam pot with the steam, which can keep the inside of the pot dry and reduce bacterial growth and odor.

Time required: steam disinfection for about 15 minutes; drying for about 2 hours, depending on the design of the label, there will be slight differences, please use the manual.

Instructions for use: In general, this two-in-one design can also be used as a bottle storage box, which is usually placed inside and can be taken out when needed.

3, UV disinfection pot

Disinfection principle: Use ultraviolet light to destroy the bacterial structure, no need to add water in the pot, as long as it is set, immediately carry out disinfection work. It can eliminate bacteria such as E. coli, tuberculosis, and staphylococcus. In addition to the disinfection function, the UV disinfection pot has a drying function, and can set the drying time, and the mother can set the visual disinfection device.

Take time: about 10 minutes

Instructions for use: The inside of the UV disinfection pot is mostly movable, and the height of the bracket can be adjusted. In addition to storing the bottle, the pacifier, and even the children's tableware, it can also be put into disinfection.

4, the traditional disinfection method - boiled disinfection method

In a stainless steel pot, pour cold water, then put the bottle in the pot, cover the lid, and then boil the water to achieve the disinfection effect, then use the "pig bottle disinfection clip" to take out the bottle, dry it, and store it for later use.

The recommended cleaning method is to use a nipple clip to clamp the nipple and sterilize it back and forth in boiling hot water for about 3 to 4 minutes. If it is a latex material nipple (appearance is dark yellow), because the heat resistance is low, it is only necessary to go back and forth a few times in the hot water to avoid the soft deformation of the nipple. If you notice that the nipple has deformed, discard the update immediately.

Boiled and sterilized: not necessarily suitable for every bottle, pacifier

Experts suggest that not all bottle materials are suitable for boiled and sterilized, and the temperature is difficult to control, and it takes time to operate next to it, so many parents have now switched to UV disinfection pots and steam sterilizers, saving time and effort. . In addition, the heat resistance of each material is different. Parents can ask the clerk by the way when purchasing the bottle, or refer to the bottle label to avoid the bottle and nipple being boiled under improper use.

How to use the bottle sterilization pot

1. It should be cleaned and disinfected first.

Whether it is a steam sterilizer or a UV sterilizer, it must be confirmed that the bottle has been thoroughly cleaned before use, instead of being thrown into the sterilizer after it has been washed, otherwise the meaning of disinfection will be lost.

2. Avoid post-contamination after disinfection

After the bottle is disinfected, mothers should not take it directly with their hands, but use a bottle holder to avoid contamination again after disinfection.

3, should be completely sterilized

When putting things into the sterilizer, they should be placed neatly and remember to be piled up indiscriminately. Mothers should completely disassemble the bottle and nipple parts to avoid disinfection.

4, the bottle should be dry inside, avoid moisture

Everyone knows that when using any appliance, if you can reduce the moisture to the inside, it will help to extend its service life. The same is true for the sterilizer, so when you put the bottle in, you should lick it or dry it.

5, the disinfection pot should also be cleaned regularly

According to professionals, UV disinfection pots are generally cleaned once a week. When cleaning the inside, in order to avoid the scale residue of the UV lamp, the sterilizing power is reduced, and the mother can wipe the lamp with a dry cloth first. In addition, there is a groove on the bottom of the UV disinfection pot. Because the water inside or inside the container will drop down, it will be easy to have scale after a period of time, which will affect the light refraction. If you want to clean thoroughly, mothers can use citric acid first. After the blisters are opened, pour into the groove. The amount of water poured into the groove is about 1/2. After that, close the door of the sterilizing pot and press the start button. After 30 minutes, the scale can be completely dissolved. Finally, Wipe the groove clean with a damp cloth. Mothers should pay attention to the fact that the inside of the UV disinfection pot is made of stainless steel. It is better to wear gloves when cleaning.

The steel plate at the bottom of the steam sterilizer is prone to scale formation. If it is not cleaned properly, it may affect the heat conduction of the machine. For a long time, it will cause difficulty in heating, affecting the sterilization effect, and cause the machine to malfunction early. Therefore, the steam sterilizer should be cleaned once a week. Mother can pour white vinegar and citric acid on the electric heating plate, then pour a little water, press the heating button, and then decompose the citric acid by itself, then wipe it with a damp cloth.
