Love them!! winniebee on "How often do you sterilize your pump?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-sterilize-your-pump#post-213364 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:42:20 +0000 winniebee 213364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I only sterilized when brand new! I wash the parts though every day. I have some steam bags so maybe I should sterilize too? With exclusively pumping/bottle feeding there's just too much involved in the feeding process as is! purrpletulips on "How often do you sterilize your pump?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-sterilize-your-pump#post-213323 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:16:23 +0000 purrpletulips 213323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't think I every boil steralized after the initial take it out of the box. I used the Medela microwave sterilization bags about five times in the 13months I was pumping. littlek on "How often do you sterilize your pump?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-sterilize-your-pump#post-213315 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:12:57 +0000 littlek 213315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sterilize every day but I also had a baby in the NICU and that is what they require. prettylizy on "How often do you sterilize your pump?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-sterilize-your-pump#post-213269 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:47:45 +0000 prettylizy 213269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sterilize after every use, but I have a really hand counter top sterilizer so I just pop them in, press the button, and five minutes later take the lid off for them to dry. calsmom on "How often do you sterilize your pump?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-sterilize-your-pump#post-213258 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:43:30 +0000 calsmom 213258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I put them in the dishwasher approx once a week.

How often do you sterilize your pump parts and how do you do it? I have only sterilized mine twice since I started using it about 10 weeks ago. I just follow the instructions in the book and boil all the parts for the recommended time.
