Do you sterilise your Breast Pump?

[Ladylove]

I was also told just to wash in warm soapy water. However the joints that can b unscrewed and the flappy bit at the filter do need extra attention, not every time but over time they can build up gunk.

I have always wondered, when told to mix baby cereals, like farex, etc with boiled water do you have to sterilize the container you keep the bottled water in or just boil the water and store it in a clean container? Anyone know?

Hmm I'm not sure but I never stored the boiled water, just used freshly boiled and cooled down.

I filled up a jug with cooled boiled water and used that until it ran out then washed the jug (just in the dishwasher or sink) then filled it again. A good friend formula fed both her girls and did the same. Or she'd fill the bottles each morning with boiled water and leave them to cool. Neither of us sterilized.

I'm the same as taurean. Each morning I boil the kettle for my cup of tea and the full a 1 litre bottle with boiled water. Then I boil it again in the arvo and make up bottles with cooled boiled water in them for through the night.
