Note: These guidelines are for use with a healthy, full-term baby and assume
that you have access to potable water. If your baby is premature or has health
challenges your care provider may supply alternative advice. If you live in an
area without potable water, you should always sterilize parts before use.
Always follow the advice of your care provider.
You should sterilize all parts (other than the pump motor and
tubing) before first use.
You do
not
need to sterilize parts used with breastmilk after every
use. Thorough washing with warm soapy water and air drying after
each use is sufficient. You may wish to sterilize on occasion to
ensure fat residue is removed.
You
do
need to sterilize breast milk storage containers that will be
used to store and freeze breast milk, such as bottles. Most milk
storage bags come pre-sterilized; verify before using.
WASHING BREASTPUMP PARTS
1.
Wash your hands.
2.
Disassemble all parts and wash in warm, soapy water and then rinse
thoroughly in hot water. The top rack of the dishwasher is fine for
all parts except the valve and backflow protector membrane. You
may wish to soak the parts in warm soapy water for several minutes
prior to washing, as well.
3.
Use a bottle brush to ensure that there is no milk residue anywhere
in the parts. Try to be careful with the membranes and valves, as
they are the most fragile part of the kit.
4.
Do not wash the valves or membranes in the dishwasher. Flush the
valve with hot soapy water and carefully remove any milk residue
with a bottle brush.
5.
Place parts on a clean dish drying rack or clean paper towel to air
dry after washing. Do not use cloth to dry your breast pump parts
