Would this work?

I have very little time to pump when I go back to work, much less clean and sterilize the parts.

I'm planning on the Lansinoh or the APY pump. Could I just stick all the parts that milk touches in the fridge between pumps and then clean & sterlize when I get home?

    I don't see why not. As long as you sterilize them once a day, you should be fine. Actually, I'd recommend just rinsing everything in very hot water after each pump and that should be sufficient.

    Did you mean to post this on breastfeeding?

    Right- you'll probably get better answers on breastfeeding. But - you can also buy the wipes that clean out your pump in between sterilization.

    I am sure that you meant to post this on breastfeeding, but that is what i did. Someone at work donated their mini fridge to me and i put the parts in the fridge between pumping.

    That's what I did when I was pumping.  I stuck the whole pump back in the cooler bag I got from the hospital and threw the whole thing in the fridge.  Cleaning afterwards each time adds way too much time.

    ETA:  I ran the pump parts in the dishwasher every night until I bought extra parts (horns/cones/whatever you call them), then I could skip a night.
