For extra protection:
For extra germ removal, sanitize pump parts at least once daily. Sanitizing is especially important if your baby is less than 2 months old, was born prematurely, or has a weakened immune system due to illness or medical treatment.
Store safely until needed
Allow the clean pump parts, bottle brushes, and wash basins to air-dry thoroughly before storing to help prevent germs and mold from growing. Once completely dry, the items should be stored in a clean, protected area to prevent contamination during storage.
Wash hands. Wash hands well with soap and water.
Reassemble. Put together the clean, dry pump parts.
Store safely. Place reassembled pump kit in a clean, protected area such as inside an unused, sealable food storage bag. Store wash basins and bottle brushes in a clean area.
Key Tips for Handling Breast Pump Tubing
When used correctly, breast pump tubing does not touch the pumped milk and does not need to be cleaned routinely.
Keep a spare set of tubing on hand in case the set you are using gets soiled or damaged.
If your tubing has milk or mold in it, throw it away immediately because it is difficult to clean properly. Replace it with a new set of tubing.
If the outside of your tubing is soiled, wipe it with a damp cloth or disinfectant wipe.
