Pigeon Bottle And Nipple Brush

Pigeon Bottle and Nipple Brush is a dual cleaning tool providing both the large bottle brush needed to reach the bottom and sides of feeding bottles and the small specialized nipple brush that cleans inside the nipple openings where milk residue accumulates. Thorough cleaning of both the bottle and nipple is essential for infant feeding hygiene - any residual milk provides an ideal growth medium for bacteria that can cause infant gastrointestinal illness.

Specs

• Type: Dual baby bottle and nipple cleaning brush
• Includes: Large bottle brush + small nipple brush
• Material: Food-safe materials, soft bristles/sponge
• Brand: Pigeon (Japan)

Benefits

• The specialized nipple brush is the most critical component - residual milk inside the nipple orifice and the narrow shoulder of the teat is the area most frequently inadequately cleaned by parents using fingers or cloths, and dried milk in these areas harbors bacterial growth
• The soft sponge or bristle construction of the bottle brush reaches the curved bottom interior of wide and narrow-neck bottles without leaving scratches that create surface irregularities where bacteria can hide
• The combination handle design of many Pigeon brush sets stores both brushes together in the bottle, making them easy to keep at the sink and locate quickly during the frequent bottle-washing routine
• Pigeon's design expertise in baby feeding accessories means the brush geometry is specifically sized and shaped for the most common baby bottle formats rather than being a generic kitchen bottle brush
• Having a dedicated baby bottle brush rather than using a household kitchen brush reduces the risk of transferring kitchen bacteria and residues to the baby's feeding equipment

How to Use

• Rinse bottle and nipple immediately after each feed to prevent milk drying and hardening inside
• Apply a small amount of baby bottle wash or dish soap to both brushes
• Insert the bottle brush into the bottle and scrub all interior surfaces including the bottom curve
• Clean the bottle neck and threads thoroughly
• Use the nipple brush to clean inside the nipple tip, the shoulder, and all external surfaces
• Rinse both bottle and nipple thoroughly under running water until no soap residue remains
• Air dry on a clean drying rack - do not towel dry which can introduce bacteria
• Sterilize according to the sterilization schedule recommended by your pediatrician
