How do I sterilize components of the Playtex® Nurser with Drop-Ins® Liners?
Sterilization is not necessary for holders since there is no direct contact with liquids.
- We don’t recommend using steam sterilizers or boiling these since this material cannot handle the temperatures required and the bottles can be damaged during the sterilizing process.
What are the materials used in the Playtex® Nurser Drop-Ins® Liners?
Materials include:
- The Original holder is made of polypropylene
- The Premium and Premium Decorated holders are made of Kostrate, a clear plastic material.
- The nipple ring and cap are made of polypropylene.
- The liners are made of linear low-density polyethylene.
- The amber color nipples are made of natural latex and our clear nipples are made of silicone.
Why do you offer different nipple styles? What is the difference?
We offer different nipple styles to give mom and baby choices. We offer latex and silicone nipples in different flow rates to meet our consumers’ needs.
How do I clean the nipple components? Can I use a dishwasher?
Before first use, boil for five minutes. After each use, wash in hot, soapy water for about one minute and rinse thoroughly. Latex Nipples should not be boiled after first time and should not be placed in steam sterilizers or dishwashers.
