[A method of modernized milk formula preparation in children's hospitals]

Nurses on the ward prepare the milk formula just before feeding by the nurse on the ward. Bottles and nipples are cleaned mechanically by dishwashers using alkaline cleaner for bottles, or a mild-alkaline cleaner (WA 725 S) and an antiseptic (Septo DA) for nipples. The nipples are sealed into plastic bags immediately after cleaning using sterile equipment. No further sterilisation is necessary as frequent bacterial culturing has shown. This procedure is safe, easy, and saves cost and time.
