putting pump parts in the fridge??

riley0218 · June 2009

When you put your pump parts in the fridge, do you take them all apart and rinse them? Or leave them all together? If you rinse them, do you have to dry them? so clueless...

I just stick them in a quart size ziplock and throw them in there. Sometimes milk drips and gets on the outsides of them, but i wash my hands before and after pumping so I don't really think it matters too much.

I just keep everything together and throw them in a gallon bag. :-)

I leave everything together and put them in a rubbermaid bowl thing. Then when I'm done at the end of the workday I just toss that into my pump bag.

I found a tupperware container big enough to hold them so I just throw them in when I'm done without rinsing.

so we can do this? all these bottles/parts being washed is not necessary? that's awesome!!! i've been bringing three sets to work everyday to pump and then washing everything when getting home. this is gonna be a lifesaver!!!

Yes! You can do this. This was the only reason I survived the early months of EPing.

I use the actual square medela cooler pack. I only bring 2 bottles and each pump I transfer the milk to bags. Then just stick the 2 bottles and parts in the cooler and into the fridge. The bags go into a separate cooler pack (got it free from similac and it came with an ice pack) and that goes in the fridge too. At the end of the day both of the packs fit in my pump bag. I wipe out the square cooler when I get home and sterilize parts in the microwave bag.
