ZAP THOSE GERMS
Tips from the pros
ROBYN LAWRENSON, DEPUTY EDITOR OF YOUR PREGNANCY:
“It’s important to sterilise baby’s bottles and dummies before each use, for the first 12 months of their lives, as their immune systems aren’t as hardy as their older sibling’s and as ours.”
YOLANDI JORDAAN, DEPUTY EDITOR OF BABA & KLEUTER:
“Make sure that the steriliser you buy is tall and big enough to take different brands of bottles. You never know what you will use in the end and with your next baby.”
HELEN SCHÖER, EDITOR OF YOUR PREGNANCY:
“Yes, of course you can boil all the baby’s feeding equipment in a big pot of water on the stove, but it isn’t very good for them. Also, if the pot boils dry you could lose everything
– a very expensive mistake.”
YOLANDI JORDAAN, DEPUTY EDITOR OF BABA & KLEUTER:
“When you don’t have your steriliser with you, sterilise only one bottle by filling it with water and placing the teat inside the bottle. Microwave for one minute.”
