Questions, answered
How often should pump parts be sanitized?
The CDC advises daily sanitizing for the same higher-risk groups, and many exclusive pumpers sanitize daily regardless. Follow your pump manual and clinician guidance.
Can all pump parts go in steam?
Most hard plastic parts can if the pump maker says so; tubing generally should not be washed or steamed unless the manual directs it, and membranes wear faster with heat.
Does sterilizing replace the fridge hack debate?
No. Storage of used parts between pumps is a separate CDC topic: the current guidance is to wash parts after each use rather than refrigerate them unwashed. Sterilizing happens after washing.
What capacity do twins need?
Plan for a full day of bottles in one or two loads: 8-bottle class machines, or two smaller units, keep pace without midnight cycles.
