Baby Basics

First off we need to understand why we should sterilise a dummy? What we are trying to protect against is the transmission of bacteria and viruses to our baby.

Hard surfaces like plastic, glass and worktop surfaces retain moisture much longer than paper towels. The typical time a virus can remain infectious on hard surfaces is three days.
