  Boiling water

  How long? Are there things I should not boil?

  I just put it all in the dishwasher on sanitize cycle. I never sterilized nail clippers, thermometer, etc. I don't see the point.

  We bought a microwave sterilizer for bottles and pacifiers.  I think it was $30 (Dr Brown's).  We used it yesterday and it seemed to work!  We don't run our dishwasher every day so I wanted something I could use easily a couple of times a day if necessary.

  I used the dishwasher for most things, but a few times I put everything in boiling water for 10 minutes.  I didn't do things like thermometers or nail clippers, though.

  I personally would sterilize nail clippers and things like that - only because even though they are packaged they are still developed in a plant and who knows what touched them. I'm just a freak though. lol.

  I just rub these with some rubbing alcohol and actually do it before each use.  OP, my Medela pump instructed to boil the parts for 10 minutes.
