[quote=Anonymous]I wash them every day. Sometimes when I pump at night it's 24 hours (I'm on maternity leave so I'm up at all hours). When I'm at work, I wash at the end of every day and keep them in the fridge in a zip lock bag at the end of every day. Here's what an LC recently shared on the subject of frequency of washing parts. Human Milk for Human Babies sets the guidelines for milk storage and have tons of data about bacterial growth in various settings, temperatures, containers, etc. Pump parts should be washed at the end of the day. The drops of milk that accumulate become gooey, the single drops that remain in the pump parts are not as effective at inhibiting bacterial growth vs a large pool of milk. Additionally, the milk is likely to congeal and become gooey over longer periods affecting pump function. [/quote]
