Keeping Baby Safe

Hygiene plays a big role in keeping baby safe in the first few years of life which is why extra care is advised when preparing feeds.

Feeding utensils which have not been cleaned thoroughly can house bacteria which could cause illness to a child when their immune system is not fully developed.

This is why the World Health Organization (WHO) and Hong Kong Government’s Family Health Service (FHS) advise parents to thoroughly sterilize bottles, teats and any implements used for feeding before use.

The best way to do so, FHS says, is to boil all bottles and implements in a pan of water for ten minutes, use a steam sterilizer or sterilizing solution while carefully following the manufacturers’ instructions.

The traditional safe method is to use cooled boiled water to eliminate any bacteria which may be present. This, nonetheless, may no longer be the only option available for new-generation parents nowadays.
