Medela breast pumps?

Question

Are medela breast pumps steriliser and dishwasher safe???

Answer 1

Every part of the Medela system is dishwasher safe except the SoftFit shields and the tubing that connects the collection kit to the pump itself. Even the tiny white membranes are dishwasher safe, but I haven't come up with a good way to contain them within the dishwasher so that they don't get lost and mangled. However...

You can use a collection kit more than once before washing it. Some women use the refrigerator trick, where they put their pump parts into a Ziploc full of water then refrigerate; it keeps any remaining droplets of milk from spoiling. I, however, live dangerously: since breast milk keeps at room temperature for up to 10 hours, I don't bother. I usually use a setup twice before washing. Since I'm pumping every three hours, I stay well within that time limit. Plus...

Answer 2

Yes, top rack in the dish washer.

Answer 3

first of all, to the blogger "Amelia" -you're an ********! Stop answering real questions if you have nothing to say! Take a long walk off a short cliff!

And now for the REAL answer to a REAL question:

Yes, Medela pump -parts, that is, are dishwasher safe (top rack).  If anything should happen to them,  you can buy replacements. But, if you don't want to take a chance, you can wash them under running tap and then boil them.  -the traditional, and still safest way to sterilize!!
