That's very logical..much appreciated.. thank you..as a 1st time Mom I was getting loads of suggestions from everyone around.. but your insight has helped clear all my doubts.. thanks again
I always wondered what was the point in sterilizing when you don't sterilize the mother's breast before putting the baby to suck from it. The hard dry surface of the baby bottle will not have much germs compared to the warm moist surface of a woman's breast. Also, watching babies putting their fists and everything else into their mouths, I am sure those have way more germs than a baby bottle. I now realize the advice came from decades ago when water and baby bottles were a lot less safer than they are today. I never sterilized my son's feeding equipment and he's still fine after 2 years. Soap and water is good enough.
Hello doctor, this is ur 1st video I watched and thank God I watched it !I'm soon going to be a mom InshaAllah; ur explanation was indeed logical and a great relief.
I only sterilized all of my 1st babies bottles after opening them before 1st use. After that, I only washed them after every feeding and didn’t bother sterilizing again
Thank you for this info. This is so helpful! ☺ I keep on sterilizing my baby's bottles and you're right it's really time consuming but of course as a first time mom I wanna make sure that I do everything properly for my baby's health and safety. Well, thanks a lot for this! God bless...😊
Oh this is such a relief to hear, sterilized all feeding items for my first child for a year, and I just started introducing food to my 5 months old baby. I sterilize his items as well but sometimes it’s exhausting. I guess all that time isn’t necessary. Thank you doctor for this information.
Thank you very much for the informative video, my wife and I really appreciate it. We were always of the mindset that microorganisms are around us and that it's basically futile to try to sterilize the environment, even worse if we attempt to it may be detrimental to our child's immune system. Have a Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you for the guidance.. I was thinking maybe what you said in the video was true before watching your video but I wasn’t sure.. so your video gave me more confidence in my choices.. thank you again!!!
Thank you Wilson!!! Been through some difficulties with my wife’s passing in October 2017. Trying to get back on track. I really appreciate your comment.
Family Pediatrics Dr. Tahir, words cannot express: I’m so sorry for your loss. The care, love, and compassion that I’m sure she knew comes through in your videos. It’s a privilege to have you making them again. Nothing but prayers and best wishes to you and your family.
I usually boil some water in a kettle place the bottles in a bowl with some salt then pour the boiling over it and keep them there for fifteen to twenty minutes just once a day is that fine to do.
What are your thoughts on powdered infant formula for a newborn? Should the water used to mix the formula be boiled, bottled or tap? Also, does the water have to be boiled then cooled to 180 degrees before mixing the formula in to sterilize it?
Family Pediatrics Thanks for your response Dr. I assumed that powdered formula might have potentially harmful bacteria and thought that sterilizing was necessary.
Thank you for this video. I have a question 🙋♂️ I am using the tablet method to sterilize the bottles as follow: I put the tablet in water and I leave the bottles in that water till I use them, which means I do not dry the bottle. Is this (not drying the bottle) ok?
Happy to hear this but i do sterilize my baby bottles. I clean with water and soap and boil it too, and still feel guilty that i did not brought that sterilizer. Sometime when i dont hv time i just wash it with soap and water that time i feel do j hv to boil twice a day but u clear my vision doctor thanks a lot.
Dr. My baby has cleft palate so he couldn’t feed directly from breast. I feed him through long needle type nipple found online but it make my baby gassy
I realize you can't give medical advice exactly but in general for a 4 week preterm babyshe seems to have very painful uncomfortable and infant intestinal gas specifically in the evening hours. Do you think sterilization would be worth the time
Hi Dr. Tahir, my husband and I are planning for a baby and I hope that you could answer my question. Which is better, a cloth diaper or regular diaper?
Cloth is cheaper and better for environment. More natural for babies skin but not always as absorbent. Cloth has an initial big $ investment but quickly pays for itself. It also takes a few more steps and effort but only you can decide if this is something you can manage with your lifestyle. Good luck
Please tell me my baby was born 2.34 kg and he is now 1 month. We are feeding him mother milk after pumping through pump and giving that milk to baby in feeding bottle, so is it safe for my baby to drink through bottle as we are hearing that it damages baby's mind and can we also give him formula milk at this early stage?
You have such a kind and reassuring way about you - I bet the families you work with love you! Thanks for your videos and your work.
True
Thank you so much, this just saved me from spending so much on an unnecessary product. 🙏🏾
All along I thought I have been doing something wrong by not sterilizing the bottles but I am ok now 🙏🏻. Thank you
That's very logical..much appreciated.. thank you..as a 1st time Mom I was getting loads of suggestions from everyone around.. but your insight has helped clear all my doubts.. thanks again
Thanks it makes total sense in Sweden the water is drinkable and it doesn’t make sense buying steriliser for bottles and wasting $$$
U just gave me a good night sleep doctor

Really infact sterilizing bottles was making me think about when she use to put her thumb in her mouth that her thumbs are not sterilized...
Hello doctor, this is ur 1st video I watched and thank God I watched it !I'm soon going to be a mom InshaAllah; ur explanation was indeed logical and a great relief.
Thank you for the video. It answered all my questions about baby bottle sterilizer. I took it off my registry.
I only sterilized all of my 1st babies bottles after opening them before 1st use. After that, I only washed them after every feeding and didn’t bother sterilizing again
I just had my first new born. Sterilizing my baby bottles is a nightmare but I'm worried for my little one I don't want him to get sick
Cool. Cause I’m on baby number 3 and I have never sterilized any bottles ever! Lol
Thank you for this info. This is so helpful! ☺

Great video! I was debating whether or not I needed a bottle sterilizer and your explanation was wonderful! Thank you!
Thank you, saved me alot of stress.
Good to get another side of sterilization, this is so relaxing. Thanks much

Thank you very much for all the useful information 💁♀️ 😀
Thanks doc. Very helpful!
Thank you, Doc! I appreciate you!
this is a really good video i sterilised till 10 months old with my 2 i could have saved so much time
I usually boil some water in a kettle place the bottles in a bowl with some salt then pour the boiling over it and keep them there for fifteen to twenty minutes just once a day is that fine to do.
Thanks for the advice, blessings.

Michelle Tardif hi! Just use water you drink. If you don’t have to boil water to drink it you won’t need to boil water for your baby’s formula
Family Pediatrics Thanks for your response Dr. I assumed that powdered formula might have potentially harmful bacteria and thought that sterilizing was necessary.
Michelle Tardif I think that sterilizing is only necessary for firsr time use.
If a baby is a full term with normal development and immune system with community sanitized water source no need to boil formula. NO WELL WATER
Ahh. I feel so much better. I didn't even bother. I was so sleep deprived I just couldn't.
Thank you 🙏💐
doc, thx for these videos... useful stuff. what about steaming them? based on what you say on the video, steaming is also not necessary, true?
Thank you so much doctor
Was always wondering this!! Thank you so much. I love your channel. Very helpful.
Thank you for this video.
I have a question 🙋♂️
I am using the tablet method to sterilize the bottles as follow: I put the tablet in water and I leave the bottles in that water till I use them, which means I do not dry the bottle.
Is this (not drying the bottle) ok?
Good day doctor I wanna ask if ppsu bottle is safe for baby to use?
Even on the maternity wards. They advise new mothers to do it 🤷🏾♀️
Happy to hear this but i do sterilize my baby bottles. I clean with water and soap and boil it too, and still feel guilty that i did not brought that sterilizer. Sometime when i dont hv time i just wash it with soap and water that time i feel do j hv to boil twice a day but u clear my vision doctor thanks a lot.
What about an air purifier in babies room?
Dr. My baby has cleft palate so he couldn’t feed directly from breast. I feed him through long needle type nipple found online but it make my baby gassy
If the babies are prematured should we sterilize the bottles
Yes you do
No I don’t have to sterilize anything
Thank you🙏💕
Thank u sir
Thanku so much
Is it safe to use expressed breast milk if stored in refrigerator alongwith other veggies and stuff in same fridge?
Yes if the breast milk is sealed
If you just washed the bottles, do u need to dry it with something? Or let the drops of water sit
What did you do?
I realize you can't give medical advice exactly but in general for a 4 week preterm babyshe seems to have very painful uncomfortable and infant intestinal gas specifically in the evening hours. Do you think sterilization would be worth the time
I think burping her before and after feed.. and if you are using formula then taking right quantity of powder and water would be fair enough.
Thank you so much for this vedio..i was looking for the answer of a same..
How long to air dry before storing? Is it possible to air dry too long on drying rack before next use?
Nope! Pass. I’ll keep right on sterilizing! Nothing is too much work for our little guy. Glass bottles and sterilization!
Hi Dr. Tahir, my husband and I are planning for a baby and I hope that you could answer my question. Which is better, a cloth diaper or regular diaper?
Cloth is cheaper and better for environment. More natural for babies skin but not always as absorbent. Cloth has an initial big $ investment but quickly pays for itself.

R u Indian dr??
Video could've been 5 seconds long
Please tell me my baby was born 2.34 kg and he is now 1 month. We are feeding him mother milk after pumping through pump and giving that milk to baby in feeding bottle, so is it safe for my baby to drink through bottle as we are hearing that it damages baby's mind and can we also give him formula milk at this early stage?
Mohd Waquar Ahmad from where you heard it dangerous? My baby was also born 2.3kg she can’t latch and I am doing same. Your comment worries me.
That is completely false. Drinking pumped breast milk is safe and will not damage your baby’s mind. Breast milk is always preferred over formula
@@ecstaticb and you are the reason why so many moms who don’t want to breast feed are shamed and made to feed bad
