How do you clean baby cutlery?

Published in Baby Feeding 2 mins read

To clean baby cutlery effectively, wash it thoroughly after each use. Here's how:

Washing Baby Bowls, Plates, and Spoons

You have two primary methods for cleaning your baby's cutlery:

  • Hot, Soapy Water:

    • Wash the bowls, plates, and spoons in hot, soapy water immediately after your baby has finished eating.
    • Rinse them thoroughly afterward to remove all traces of soap.
  • Dishwasher:

    • You can also wash baby cutlery in the dishwasher. Ensure the items are dishwasher-safe before placing them inside.

Sterilization vs. Cleaning

  • Sterilization is not necessary for feeding equipment (bowls, plates, and spoons). While it's essential to sterilize baby bottles, teats, and bottle-feeding equipment, regular cleaning is sufficient for cutlery.

Step-by-Step Guide

Here is a quick step-by-step guide:

Step Instruction
1 Rinse the cutlery to remove food residue.
2 Wash in hot, soapy water or place in dishwasher.
3 Rinse thoroughly if washing by hand.
4 Allow to air dry or dry with a clean towel.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure your baby's cutlery is clean and safe for each meal.
