HealthcareCleaning & Maintenance3MediumPediatric Nurse$ implied
Pediatric nurses lack access to bottle sterilizers in hospitals, relying on hand-washing bottles with soap and water instead of proper sanitization.
Hospital bottle cleaning protocols do not include sterilization, which may pose infection risks for bottle-fed infants, especially those who are not immunocompromised but still vulnerable.
