How to Boil Bottle Nipples

Boiling is the easiest and most effective way to sterilize bottle nipples. Newly purchased bottles and nipples should always be boiled and it is especially important to sterilize your baby's bottles if the water in your home is supplied by a well. This ensures you are not introducing harmful bacteria, germs and chemicals into your baby's system.

Things You'll Need

• Large pot
• Kitchen tongs

Instructions

1. Fill the pot of water, place on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil.

   Remove the nipples from the bottle and drop both into the boiling water. Multiple bottles can be boiled at once to save time. Adjust the size of your pot and amount of water to accommodate the number of bottles.

2. Allow the nipples and bottle to boil from five to 10 minutes. Five minutes is generally long enough and helps prevent cracking and other damage to the silicone of the nipples.

3. Remove the nipples and bottles from the boiling water using the kitchen tongs. Turn off the stove.

4. Place the bottle and nipples on a clean cloth and allow to cool before using.
