For hygiene reasons, always wash and sterilize the teat before first use. Immediately after each use, wash the teat inside and out in hot soapy water, being careful not to damage the hole. Do not turn the teat inside out for cleaning. Then sterilize the teat making sure to follow the sterilizer manufacturer instructions. Alternatively you can sterilize the teat by boiling it in water for at least 5 minutes. We recommend that you replace teats every 6-8 weeks for hygiene purposes. |
