AVOID FEEDING INFANTS WITH A BOTTLE

USE a cup to give drinks and liquid foods to children. It is usually difficult to get bottles and teats completely clean. Cups, spoons, dishes and utensils used for preparing and feeding infants should be washed right after use. This will facilitate their thorough cleaning. If bottles and teats must be used, they should be thoroughly washed and boiled after every use.
