Baby teething toys are the perfect companions for infants as they grow their teeth, helping to alleviate discomfort during teething and providing convenience for babies to gnaw. They also effectively prevent babies from biting other objects, making it safer and more hygienic. For the sake of the baby’s health, baby teething toys need to be regularly cleaned and sterilized. But how do you sterilize baby teething toys? It is important to refer to the instructions that come with the teething toy, as different teething toys have different methods of sterilization. Some teething toys may deform if boiled in water, while others can be sterilized using high temperatures or in a sterilization cabinet.
Therefore, only some baby teething toys can withstand high temperatures and can be boiled with hot water, scalded briefly with boiling water, or steamed. If boiling, it should not be done for too long, around five minutes is appropriate. However, many baby teething toys are not heat-resistant and can only be soaked in warm water or cleaned with a neutral cleansing solution (food-grade cleaning products), then rinsed with warm water, and wiped dry with a towel before use.
Placing the baby teething toy in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for a while also has a sterilizing effect. The chilled teething toy, once removed, is something that babies often enjoy biting, making it a good method. Another approach is to soak the teething toy in a disinfectant solution for a few minutes, then rinse it with warm water and scald it with boiling water. However, this method leaves a disinfectant taste, so it is not recommended.
