Every. Single. Night. It drives me crazy!!!!
-
My husband has to clean them for me now since the eczema on my hands is flaring up so bad. Guess I lucked out (even though my hands are so freaking itchy).
-
I'm still super new at it. But right now I actually find it kind of calming. Because LO is still so new and totally rocking my world when it comes to a daily schedule I find that doing things like laundry and dishes help me feel more normal.
-
I hate it so much. Tried using Playtex drop ins but LO hated those bottles!
-
Yep. I also hate (HATE) cleaning up after her when she eats. So messy, so gross
-
Ugh, yes and the Vent-Aire bottles are so gross when you take them apart
-
Haha yup!! and now I'm going to be even MORE thorough. I used to spend forever making sure they were super clean and then I'd let them dry over night on the boon grass, however I didn't pump for maybe a week and I went to pump, got done pumping, and there was MOLD in one of the parts. omg my skin still crawls, so now after ordering new parts I am really going to be checking my parts and bottles! ick.
-
I stick the pump parts in the fridge all day and at the end of the day I stick all the parts and all bottle pieces (and pacis) into the dishwasher on "hot wash/heat dry" and walk away. I totally gave up on washing them by hand.
-
YES. For some reason, cleaning pump parts was So much more annoying than washing any other type of dishes. Hence my resistance to pumping at all.
-
I don't mind it.
But to be fair, I work a lot longer hours than DH, so he does almost ALL the other housework so I feel like I should do SOMETHING to help out. -
I hate it. Dr brown bottles are such a pita to wash
-
@Bao: Ahhh! I wish I wouldn't have read that!
I hate the pump parts the most. I feel like it's next to impossile to get into all of little nooks and it's just super time consuming!
-
Yes. It's awful. I hate Dr. Brown's bottles. When DD was really little I had to wash 8 of those each day plus washout pump parts 2x each day. It made me hate my life.
-
I have 2 sets of pump parts and just use the dishwasher. I check the pieces for mold. I use the steam/sterilize bags once a week maybe. I don't think it's so bad though... Just bc I use the dishwasher. If I hand washed it all, I'd be over it real quick!
-
Yes! I'm getting so tired of everything pump related and I'm only 6 months in.
-
I use the sanitize cycle on the dishwasher. Its still a pain to take everything apart and put it all back together.
-
I do hate it--I have two sets and alternate. One day I came home to find them clean--our nanny washed them and now she washes them every day. I lucked out!
-
I only throw everything in the dishwasher. Is that bad??
-
I hate cleaning my pump parts and bottles! Why do Dr. Brown's bottles come with SO MANY parts?!?! I'm supposed to be washing them right now but... I don't wanna!!!!
-
In addition to everything above - why are there no tools to clean pump parts? I feel like the world is discriminating against pumpers!
