Sterilization of baby pacifiers should be done by steaming rather than boiling or accelerating the aging of residual bacteria.animal pacifier clip

　　Babies' immune systems are immature and vulnerable to germs. And pacifiers are often the main culprit of infant diseases entering from the mouth. It is common knowledge to sterilize baby pacifiers every day, but the best way to sterilize them is different. My opinion is that pacifiers should be sterilized and should be steamed rather than boiled.

　　There are two types of baby pacifiers on the market: rubber and silicone. Rubber baby pacifiers are widely used, generally light yellow, similar to mother's nipples, but generally have a rubbery smell that is difficult to eliminate, and are easy to deform at 100 ℃ high temperature; silicone pacifiers are new products that have only appeared in recent years, generally It is colorless, transparent or translucent, has no peculiar smell, and is resistant to cooking at 120 °C. However, due to its low strength and short service life, it is generally necessary to replace it in three or four weeks.

　　Before sterilizing baby pacifiers, you must rinse the pacifier with warm water. This step is very important, otherwise food residues, saliva, etc. on the pacifier may become a breeding ground for bacteria. Using boiling water to sterilize the pacifier is also an effective method to kill germs, but the disinfection time is not easy to control. It is generally recommended to boil the water for two or three minutes after the water is boiled. If the cooking time is too long, the surface of the pacifier will become more sticky and pores will appear, which will not only speed up the aging of the pacifier, but also easily leave germs in the pores. If the cooking time is too short, although it can prevent pores in the pacifier, it will not completely kill the germs. Note that there is no need to add any disinfectant for boiling water disinfection. Even "pure natural" disinfectant will cause hidden dangers to the baby's health.

　　The use of steam sterilization is currently one of the safest and most effective methods of sterilizing baby pacifiers. Steaming at 95°C-97°C for 12-15 minutes can effectively kill most pathogenic bacteria. At the same time, steam sterilization will not damage the material of the nipple, making the nipple more durable.
