Cleaning the feeding equipment

Steps

  1. Hand wash your child’s feeding equipment in liquid dish soap and warm water. If the feeding equipment becomes sticky or looks cloudy, a 3:1 water and vinegar solution (3 parts water and 1 part white vinegar) can also be used to clean the equipment.
  2. Rinse well with clear water.
  3. Air-dry between feedings.

Helpful hints and tips

  • With proper care and cleaning, feeding equipment can be reused many times.
  • Before cleaning equipment, rinse extension set in cool water. Warm water “sets” some formulas. One technique to loosen formula from the tube is to partially close the clamp and then slide it up and down the tubing.
  • Be sure to carry all extra feeding supplies when you are out with your child.
