Clean storage space is essential: There’s no point in going through all the trouble of cleaning if the pump parts are going to end up in a dirty or dusty drawer. Set aside a special area in a closed space to store your equipment. Your lifestyle will dictate what you need. For example, if you plan to pump mostly in the comfort of your home, you won't need as many extras as you might if you're frequently on the go or working outside of your home.

Returning to work doesn't have to mean sacrificing the closeness so many moms love about breastfeeding. In fact, combining breastfeeding and bottle-feeding can be the best of both worlds. You can still breastfeed mornings, evenings and weekends, while other caregivers or your partner get to bond with the baby by bottle-feeding while you're at work. Plus, you get a bit of a well-earned breastfeeding break. You can use any soap intended for washing dishes to clean pump parts, including dishwasher soap if you are using a dishwasher. Do not use antibacterial soap because it can contain additives and chemicals that may not be safe for regular, daily use to wash breast pump parts. In addition, there isn’t enough science to show that over-the-counter (OTC) antibacterial soaps are better at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water. Rinse pump parts thoroughly after washing to remove all soap residue. 4.

One thing to be cautious of is the soap that you put into the dishwasher. It is best to use unscented soap so the scent does not transfer to the pump parts or into the pumped milk.The whole process of pumping, feeding your baby, storing milk, and disinfecting pump parts is a lot of work. Look for products that will help you get things done more efficiently, such as sanitizing bags that can be tossed into the microwave or disinfecting wipes for those times that you are not able to go through the full cleaning process. If you have access to a microwave, place the rinsed parts in a handy micro-steam bag to sterilize the parts.
