Contamination in my baby's milk bottle

2024-11-14 21:01:00
While feeding my 2-month-old baby, I noticed a small cockroach in her milk bottle after she had already drunk some of it. I’m feeling concerned and would appreciate guidance on what steps to take in this situation.

Cockroaches carry microbes responsible for infections like gastrointestinal infections, typhoid etc. Whether the infection will develop or not depends on amount of the contaminated milk consumed, immunity of baby.
Next Steps
If you observe symptoms like decreased feeding, fever, loose stools, vomiting then consult nearby paediatrician.
