How To Sterilize Pacifiers?
The common and easiest way to sterilize a pacifier is using boiling water.
How to sterilize pacifiers? Let us see step by step process.
- Take clean water in a pot and heat it to a full boil until it gets bubbling.
- After noticing the bubbles, carefully place the pacifier in the boiling and allow it to be in the water for five minutes.
- Remove it before it gets overheated. Use a clean kitchen tool like a ladle or a large spoon to remove it safely from boiling water.
- Make sure the water drops are not there on the pacifier. Squeeze it gently flat to let the excess water out.
- You can place it on a clean drying rack or clean it with a towel to make it wet-free. Allow it to cool down and then give it to your baby. It may hurt your baby if it is not cooled down completely.
