Boiling is a solid Plan B, not Plan A. It’s the friend who shows up late with snacks—helpful, but not the hero of the night. For real peace of mind, invest in tools that go the extra mile.
So next time you drop that pacifier, take a breath. Don’t panic-boil like I used to. Use a sterilizer bag, a UV wand, or just wash it with soap and hot water (which is often 99% effective on its own). Your baby—and your sanity—will thank you.
And hey, if all else fails, remember: humans survived for millennia without sterilization. We just got lucky. But now that you know better, why take the gamble?
