PSA if you don’t have access to power ⚡️ at home and you need to sterilize baby’s bottles:
-Sterilizing bottles is an added step recommended for babies under 3 months of age as their immune system is still developing
-CDC has the following procedure recommended to sanitize baby bottles 🍼 if you don’t have access to boiling water or bottle steamers:
1. Prepare a bleach solution of 2 teaspoons of unscented bleach per gallon (16 cups) of water in a clean wash basin.
2. Put all items completely underwater. Make sure the solution touches all parts and there are no air bubbles in the bottles.
3. Squeeze solution through ni**le holes and soak items in solution for at least 2 minutes.
4. Remove with clean hands or tongs. Do not rinse because germs could get back onto the sanitized items. Any remaining bleach will break down quickly as it dries and will not hurt your baby. This process is similar to what is done to sanitize dishes in restaurants.
5. After sanitizing, place items on a clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust. Allow to air-dry thoroughly before storing. Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer germs to the items.

Thankful for all of the incredible Patients (past, present and future) who continue to or courageously aspire to positively shape our future generations ❤️
