6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and the longevity of your breast pump. All parts that come into contact with breast milk are BPA/DEHP free.

Daily Cleaning:

  • Disassemble all parts that come into contact with breast milk (flanges, valves, backflow protectors, bottles).
  • Wash these parts in warm, soapy water. Use a dedicated brush for cleaning pump parts.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Air dry on a clean paper towel or drying rack. Avoid using cloth towels as they can transfer germs.
  • The pump unit and tubing should not be washed or sterilized as they do not come into contact with milk. Wipe the pump unit with a clean, damp cloth.

Sterilization:

  • Sterilize all milk-contacting parts at least once a day.
  • Methods include boiling for 5 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or a dishwasher with a sanitizing cycle (if parts are dishwasher safe, which they are).
