You should introduce the use of feeding with plate, cup and spoon. Plates and cups are easier to clean and has no hiding place for germs. Our professionals discourage the use of bottle feeding due to challenges with cleaning especially the teat and despite sterilisation, bacteria can still hide in the bottle leading to infection.
