If DH is doing the dishes and there are pump parts on the sink, he'll take them apart and wash them. He even knows not to put the membranes in the dish-washer.
Does your SO help clean pump parts?
-
Yep!
-
No, I rarely used mine so whenever it was there he was just at a loss. I didn't mind though. At least he was doing the dishes.
-
Yes!
-
He will if I ask, but he rarely does it unprompted.
-
Nope. It's one of my few pet peeves. The feeding's already my job with ebf, so it seems like that'd be something he could help with. Then again, I've never asked, so I can't be too cranky.
-
Yes and I love him for it!!
-
Yes, he does it almost daily.
-
@MaisyMay: He helps, but a few times I've noticed a funky milk smell so I prefer to wash them now because I do a more thorough job.
-
@mrsjazz: I've had to point out about cleaning the lip on the membranes (Medela Freestyle) otherwise he misses that spot.
-
Great q! He does sometimes, bottles too. I really appreciate it when he offers.
-
Yes and packs my pump bag for me every day when he's home!
-
nope. and not the bottles either. my mom does it when i don't.
-
NO... i do all the bottles & pump parts. DH is not a good dish-washer, so I don't trust him to clean them thoroughly.
if he ever washes dishes by hand there is always food left on them - ANNOYING.
-
Yes, and my mom does too sometimes if she's washing LO's bottles (she takes care of him while we work).
-
Since I exclusively pumped, I always had pump parts that needed to be washed. DH would help, but it was just easier to do it myself. He dreaded washing the parts.
-
Yep, and he loads up my pump bag for work in the morning too.
-
Nope, but then he rarely does the dishes...he does clean toilets though, so I shouldn't complain!
-
I just do them real quick when I put the milk up. I am sure he would if I left them out or when I go back to work.
-
Nope, DH works 65h a week and I wash dishes so I always did it. I can't say I'd trust anyone but myself to do it anyways:/
-
Yup, he washes them when he washes the bottles.
-
Sometimes - he used to wash all the bottles and pump parts every night but he's been working longer hours lately so I've been doing them while LO eats dinner.
-
Only a handful of times. *sigh* but he will if I ask. I just don't like to nag!
-
sometimes!
