• If the baby is breastfed via the bottle, the remained milk can be preserved for 3-4 hours in the room with air conditioning.

There are many ways to clean the baby bottles such as boiling, steaming with a steaming pot, and rinsing with baby cleansing products. However, washing and soft-boiling the bottles with hot water can’t kill the germs.
