When you’ve pumped milk are you washing and sterilising after each use?
If you have a different routine please let me know. I don’t know if I’m being excessive doing it after each use.

I normally rinse through with hot water after use and wash at the end of the night. I don’t sterilise them as you don’t need to x

Or you can pop it straight in the fridge for the next use x
Ok that sounds like a sensible plan! I’m definitely starting to think I’m being excessive doing it after each use.

Popped it in the fridge for the day then in the evening I’d wash and sterilise

Wash after each time and sterilize once per day. That’s the recommendation in the US anyway per the CDC.

Rinse and pop in the fridge. Wash and sterilise at the end of each day

Like others said- rinse and place in fridge between uses and wash at end of night. After 3 months- I didn’t sterilize it anymore (same with bottles).

Straight in the fridge until next use.
Wash thoroughly before bed everyday and pop in the UV steriliser to dry and sterilise (may not be necessary but I don’t like to air dry anything)

I put it in the fridge between uses and then sterilise once a day

Sterilise/ proper wash once a day, just use boiling water after each use otherwise. After little one is 6 months you don't need to sterilise at all x

You can pop it in the refrigerator!

Rinse and put in refrigerator after each use. Wash and then sterilize at the end of the day

Just wash. I have never sterilised my pump as the instructions say to only wash it.

Wash every time, sterilise ahead of the night pumps

Steriliser once a day!
Thank you mama’s you’ve now saved me a lot of time

Either washing or rinsing and storing in fridge then sterilizing at end of the day.

I EBF, my life is chained to that pump every 3 hours or so. If i washed and put the parts and bottles through the sterilizer each time i would have instead of partial sanity left absolutely none😂... i rinse with hot water as hot as my sink goes, soak in hot water and wash every day at the end of the day ... I sterilize every 4 - 5 days. My daughters pediatrician said i can even sterilize just once a week as long as i am thoroughly washing or boiling the bottles parts pump parts every day etc but thats my system i do give or take the circumstances...ie if we are traveling i am OD with the sterilizing and washing just unfamiliar areas or like today being up in the mountains i do a big wash and sterilize from just being outdoors and all that 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for all the advice ❤️
