Product Information

Harmful germs can grow in breast milk (or its residues) and you need to disinfect your pump properly. Infants have become ill from contaminated milk due to bacteria grown on pump parts that were not cleaned properly. Proper cleaning of breast pump partsand feeding items, and appropriate storage of milk, can help preserve the nutrient and protective properties of breast milk, and reduce the risk of introducing germs to an infant. Thus, cleaning pump parts thoroughly after every use is the best way to help protect babies from harmful germs that could be on pump parts, especially for babies who were born preterm or have other health conditions.

Every product is different, so make sure you follow the sanitising method recommended by the manufacturer of your pump set or feeding equipment. Medela recommends one of the following methods to sanitize pumping and feeding equipment: 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 (such as chemotherapy for cancer). Daily sanitizing of pump parts may not be necessary for older, healthy babies, if the parts are cleaned carefully after each use. Sanitize all items (even the bottle brush and wash basin!) by using one of the following options. If you are going to be pumping very regularly (i.e., exclusively, or when you return to work or school), having an extra pump and pump parts can make life a lot easier," says lactation consultant and LLL leader Amanda DeWeese, MPH, CPH, IBCLC. If you work outside the home, keeping one pump at home and one at work can "help reduce the chances of accidentally leaving something at the other location." And that reduces stress, a huge plus for busy, tired parents.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. So the cold conference room isn't all that conducive to letting letdown happen? Take steps to relax. A few deep breaths, a short meditation, a soothing song on Spotify or a foot rub on a portable foot roller can all help bring in some Zen.

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. Once you're relaxed, swipe to a photo of your adorable baby (looking at his face will help release the hormones that start your milk flow), play a recording of his coos or whimpers (hearing baby sounds triggers letdown) or sniff the unwashed shirt your baby wore yesterday that you wisely stashed in your bag (your little one's scent can work magic on your milk flow). If you pump at around the same time every day, your coworkers will know where you are and you won't have to explain your absence every time. This will also keep your milk production up. If you have a formal calendar for appointments, mark yourself as unavailable during your pumping sessions so you don't get scheduled for meetings when you need to pump. Place the pump parts and brush/basin on a clean cloth or paper towel and allow them to air dry. Don't use the towel to dry the pump parts because that can lead to germs being transferred onto the pump. Depending on your needs, any of these products are fantastic for breast pumping parents.

What to Look for in Products for Pumping Parents ComfortScrub. Scrub items according to pump kit manufacturer’s guidance.
