Following the steps below will guide you thru the
STERILIZATION process healthily happily and safety.
 A process of removing microorganism thru
moist MILK PREPARATION
1. Wash hands
A. TERMINAL HEAT METHOD 2. Prepare the materials
a. Wash Hands  Feeding bottles, nipples, cap and ring

 2 basins – for mild soapy water , for clean water  Sterilized water from the pot
 Bottle brush  Bib
 Nipple brush 3. Pour water first before the milk formula
 Paper towels (to get exact ration of water from milk)
 4. Shake bottle side-ways (less clogging,
no spillage and less bubbles- less/no COLIC)
5. Open the lid to liberate some gas formed
6. Check the milk temperature thru the wrist/dorsum
(areas with more nerve endings, more sensitive); check
in the nipple diameter thru the drops (1-3 drops/sec
indicates it could still be used. Not too small=COLIC and
not too large=ASPIRATION
FEEDING
1. Wash hands
2. Put on bib
3. Position baby semi-upright/semi reclined (head
slightly raised)
4. Tilt the bottle 45 deg.
5. Feed the baby and introduce burping
6. Wash hands
NOTE:
- Introduce burping in between feeding (when the
bottle is half-empty and when the bottle is emptied
- Introduced water in between burping to wash-out
milk suds from the tongue thus preventing ORAL
THRUSH/ORAL CANDIDA
 COLIC refers to unexplained crying that
usually happens in the afternoon or in the
evening.
 ASPIRATION refers to passage of milk,
mucus or food from the stomach out into
the lungs and nose.
 ROOTING REFLEX –refers to the manner of
removing nipples from the baby by way of
stroking the angle of the mouth and he/she
follows the direction of fingers in response
to food or breasts.

from the baby. The finger is inserted inside
the mouth.
BURPING – A method of removing swallowed air after
bottle or breasts feeding.
WAYS OF BURPING/WINDING A BABY
There are different methods in burping the infants, It is
very important to properly support the baby’s neck
muscles are very weak and you should be careful not to
let the head flop forward or backwards.
Use a cloth to protect your clothing where your baby’s
face will be resting. Never forget to this twice.
ON YOUR SHOULDER HOLD/SHOULDER HOLD
 The most common way of burping the baby
 Hold the baby gently but firmly against your
shoulder and support the baby by placing the
arm o hand under his or her bottom.
 Pat or rub the back gently.
ON YOU LAP/FACE-DOWN/PRONE-ON LAP
 A very soothing position
 Turn the baby over on your lap
Face-down
 The stomach should be on one thigh and the
head over the other
 Hold the baby securely by one hand and the
other gently pat or rub the back
SITTING UP/ SITTING ON LAP
 Be extra sure to support the baby’s head when
using this position
 Place the baby in sitting position on your lap,
leaning forward just a bit and support the
baby’s chin with one hand.
 Try to gently rub or pat baby on the back
RIGHT SIDE – LYING
 Considered the most therapeutic way of
burping since this allows the efficient
functioning of the cardiac sphincter-out, thus
preventing aspiration.
 Gently lay baby and turn him on his right and
rub or pat the baby on his back.
