Can pacifiers be sterilized by boiling water?

　　There are two types of pacifiers commonly found on the market, including latex pacifiers and silicone pacifiers. The latex pacifier is made of natural latex. Natural latex is a very elastic and soft material. It has good elasticity and is easy to return to its original shape. It can effectively resist the baby's pulling. However, latex pacifiers are easy to age, have a short service life, and are not resistant to high temperature. It is very easy to age and deform in a high temperature environment of 100 ° C. Therefore, latex pacifiers are not suitable for boiling water, and can be sterilized by steam sterilization. Steaming the pacifier at 95℃-97℃ for 12-15 minutes can effectively kill most pathogenic bacteria without damaging the raw materials of the pacifier and affecting the health of the baby.

　　If the mother wants to sterilize the pacifier, in addition to sterilizing with boiling water, you can also use the steam sterilization method, which is currently one of the safest and most effective methods for sterilizing baby pacifiers. Steam at 95°C-97°C for 12-15 It can effectively kill most pathogenic bacteria in minutes, and at the same time, steam sterilization will not damage the nipple material, which can make the nipple more durable.

　　The silicone pacifier is made of high-quality plastic, transparent and odorless, and can resist temperature changes, so it can be sterilized by boiling water. When sterilizing, you should put the pacifier when the water is boiling. The pacifier needs to be soaked in water. Generally, it can be boiled in boiling water for two or three minutes. The pacifier should not be boiled for too long, as this will increase the surface viscosity, easily cause pores and accelerate the aging of the material. The disadvantage of silicone nipples is that they are not as elastic as latex, and once the surface is cracked, it is easy to tear.
