Policy around disinfection of bottle teats in NICU

[Pamela Ann Boon]

Hi All,
Our Speech Pathology staff use special bottle teats for NICU babies who have trouble feeding due to cleft palette etc.
The teats are expensive and purchasing enough to be able to run them through CSD (8 feeds a day) is cost prohibitive at this time.

We were wondering what other facilities did and if anyone had a policy around disinfection of teats/bottles they would be willing to share.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Cheers from Pam
