So after I washed and boiled there's still a little condensation after leaving them to dry for a day. I tried shaking it, turning them on different sides.. What else can I do?
-
are you talking about the tubing or something else? My tubing does this and it eventually disappeared.
-
Leave it plugged into the faceplate but unconnected on the other end and just run the pump until all the condensation disappears. FYI you don't have to wash the tubing if nothing gets into them.
-
Rubbing alcohol dries the tubing out- just use a little and let it run through it.
-
I run the pump for 15 minutes and it goes away.
-
@matador84: @regberadaisy: not the tubing.. The piece where the tube plugs into and where the valve/membrane is connected to. It's the spot where milk goes through from flange to membrane.
Day 2 of drying and I think they are finally dry but I didn't pump yesterday bc I didn't want any water to get in the BM!
-
Ohhhh I wouldn't worry about it. Haha mine never fully dry out!
-
@snowjewelz: Breastmilk is mostly water. I wouldn't worry about a few extra drops unless there is some extenuating circumstance that requires complete sterilization.
-
@regberadaisy: @ElbieKay: ohh haha ok! I was about to order another set!
-
@snowjewelz: I would definitely not halt my pumping operation due to a little bit of water!
-
My pump parts seem to always be a little wet, I never worry about it.
-
@ElbieKay: @psw27: haha can you tell I'm a newbie at pumping?!
-
@snowjewelz: I've been there! I mean, I still try to be super clean about them but I'm definitely not as worried as he gets older! (I.e. I just throw them in the fridge between pumping sessions now and use the sterilizer microwave bags!)
