I'm having a terrible time keeping up with washing and boiling my pump parts.  Any tips to make the process easier?

Thanks

    Nope.  I toss them in a zip-lock bag and put them in the fridge.  I wash them in the a.m. and after dinner.

    They also have microwave steam bags you can buy.  You just put all the pieces in the bags, pop them in the microwave, and they're sterilized.  That might be faster.  I also got the cleaning wipes so that I could clean the pieces quickly on the go.

    I have 2 sets of pump parts, and I wash them both after each use.  Occasionally I use the Medela steam bags to sterilize them, but I don't think it's necessary if you have a healthy full-term baby.

    I just use soap and water and wash them each time.  I sterilize them in the steam bags every couple of days or so.
