What is the best way to clean a pacifier?

Question

trying to keep germs from entering babies system.

Answer 1

we boil water in a tea kettle then put the pacifiers,bottle nipples,breast pump pieces etc into a large mixing bowl and pour the boiling hot water into the bowl ....... then aprx ten to fifteen minutes later pour the water out and put the stuff on a drying rack ...

Answer 2

Place the pacifier in boiling water for a few minutes to remove germs. I bottle fed my kids, so when I put the bottle parts in the dishwasher I would throw the pacifier in too.

Answer 3

Boil some water in a tea kettle. Over the sink or a glass bowl pour the boiled water over the pacifier. To be better safe than sorry. Boil another pot of water. Stick the pacifier in for at least 5 minutes.

Answer 4

Boiling them is a fantastic way to de-germ them, we also stuck ours in the dishwasher in a specially made container that fit right on the top rack that held small pieces like tippy cup and bottle parts.

Answer 5

A) Boil it for 10 minutes. Make sure theres no hot water left inside the paci before you give it to baby.

B) Rinse under water, then put in a microwave steriliser. They don't cost too much, but they are a *Lifesaver*. Four minutes in the microwave is all you need!

C) Theres some tablets out there...antibacterial ones you can sterilise things in. I feel funny about that though...putting your babies paci or bottle in it, which is toxic...then giving it back.
