Pumping Moms-question

GraciousMrs · May 2009

Do you wash your pump parts after each pumping session? I rinse and sometimes throw them in the steam bags at work, but steaming seems like a little too much each time since I pump 2-3 times a day at work. (Is rinsing okay?)

What do you do?

Wash every time I pump with soap and hot water. I steam once a day at home but sometimes I forget.

I have several sets of the pump parts - THE BEST investment ever! I carry in a "Clean" bag of pump parts and a "Dirty" bag of pump parts - and at the end of the day I clean and sterilize all the parts. I love it! Reduces the time that it takes to pump during the day too! The extra parts are really pretty reasonable....

Can you put them in the fridge between pumps? That's what I do. Where I work- cleaning even w/ a steam bag is a pain. I have to go to another floor to do it.

I don't. I wipe them down and keep them in the cooler with the milk I've pumped. Each night I wash them well.

i rinse with hot water in between sessions and take home to give a thorough washing at night. nothing wrong with a quick rinse!

I use the Medela wipes and put them in the dishwasher at night. Half a wipe is all I need each time.
