If you're washing by hand, using clean bottle and teat brushes will help you reach every part of the bottle, teat or breast pump. If you’re using a dishwasher, make sure you place bottles and teats face down, so they don’t fill with dirty water. Check they are not damaged, too (NHS, 2021). As soon as possible after you’ve used bottles, teats, breast pumps and any other milk collection, storage or feeding equipment, thoroughly wash them in warm, soapy water. Yes, it’s still important to wash your baby’s feeding equipment thoroughly to remove any dried-on milk, because bacteria can grow on any remaining milk. Do I still need to wash feeding equipment before sterilising it? Washing items in a dishwasher doesn’t have the same effect of killing the bacteria (NHS, 2019a 2021). The NHS recommends sterilising all feeding equipment each time you use it for at least the first 12 months of your baby’s life (NHS, 2019a). How long do I need to sterilise bottles and other feeding equipment for? That’s why, in the UK, the NHS recommends that all equipment used for collecting, storing or feeding expressed breastmilk or formula milk for babies under 12 months is sterilised before use (NHS, 2019a). Milk provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria that could cause food poisoning, but sterilising kills the majority of these bacteria. Sterilising all your baby’s feeding equipment helps to protect your baby against these illnesses, in particular diarrhoea and vomiting (First Steps Nutrition Trust, 2021). So they could become very ill if they drank milk that was contaminated with bacteria.
