Breast Pump and Mold

LMBESQLMBESQ
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I also posted this on the BF forum, but thought I should also ask here:

I just discovered mold in the back of my Freestyle- on the shields.  I have since thoroughly washed and sterilized all of the parts, and am now wondering if:

1. I should buy new parts.  While most of the mold is gone from the shields, there is still a dark residue/stain that will not come off.

2. I need to discard the bm I pumped this morning before I discovered the mold.  No milk has come in contact with the mold, as it appears that the mold is contained to the areas of the pump that the air travels through. 

I obviously need to be better about drying the pump after cleaning it.  Yikes.

    Better safe than sorry. And the parts don't cost that much. It would be worth it to me.
