I’m exclusively pumping and it’s getting so hard to keep washing the pump parts after each late night pumps. Do y’all wash all parts after each pump? Or do y’all have extra set of the parts? I need advice before giving up ![]()
I would suggest to use the fridge hack and get an extra set! Or throw them in the bottle washer over night so they’re ready to go in the morning.
I put mine in the fridge once i finish using them and the milk keeps for 4 days!
I use the fridge method. I also have an extra set of parts that I use. So after my last pump session at night I dont stress about washing it. I know ill be using my other set the next morning.
Put all parts in a zip block bag in fridge it’s good to use for 24 hours. Lactation consultant advice
Breast Pump Wipes by Dapple Baby on Amazon! Was recommended by a lactation consultant to wipe down in between.
I use the fridge hack! Wash once a day.
Same here, fridge hack. In the US, a lot of insurances will cover the cost of pump part replacements and extras, so check into that. I was able to get a second set (and later a third, and fourth, etc).
My kitchen is on a different floor than my bedroom, so I also bought a mini fridge (make sure it actually refrigerates down to 40 or so, and isn’t just a drink cooler). Then I could keep some drinks for myself, bag and store milk, and also keep used parts there so that I wouldn’t have to make trips to fetch/wash/store things in the night.
