Why Is Food Safety Important in Child Care Settings?


!±8± Why Is Food Safety Important in Child Care Settings?

Safe Handling of Babies Bottles

Clean and Wash bottles, bottle caps, and nipples in the dishwasher. If you wash them by hand, wash them in warm water with dish soap. Rinse well and then boil for five minutes.

Refrigerate - Keep filled bottles of formula or breast milk in the refrigerator until just before feeding. Refrigerate - open containers of ready-to-feed or concentrated formula. Warming - Place bottles in hot (not boiling) water for five minutes.

Shake well and test milk temperature by putting a few drops on the inside of your wrist to make sure it's not too hot before feeding.

Never Microwave Baby Bottles Why? Microwaves heat to very high temperatures and heat unevenly. They could make a portion of the milk too hot. The baby's mouth and throat could be scalded.

Breast Milk and Formula Storage

Leftover Formula - Throw away immediately. Bacteria from the baby's mouth contaminate the formula, where they can grow and multiply.

Prepared bottles - Throw any after 24 hours

Open containers of ready-to-feed or concentrated formula- throw away after 48 hours

Unused breast milk - (May be frozen for two weeks) throw away after 48 hours

These items should be kept in the refrigerator

Final note: Check "Use by" dates on formula. If the date has passed, stay safe. Throw it out.

Remember

Use bottles only once. Clean them thoroughly before using again. To avoid tooth decay and ear infections, don't put babies to bed with a bottle. Milk pooled in the baby's mouth can allow bacteria to grow on teeth. Milk can also get into the ear canal and cause ear infections.
