How to sterilise medela pump in style

6 replies

i used to microwave sterilise my old tommee tipee pump, but instructions on this one talk of boiling water on the stove. That seems abit dark ages to me ( & hassle!)
So how do you do yours?
If not microwave compatable, can I use stinky Milton?

I know some of you will say not to bother and just hot soapy water, but I like to sterilise occasionally for my own piece of mind.

i sterilise my medela pump in the microwave and it has been fine

I put mine in a steam steriliser. I'm sure it's just saying boil to make the point that you don't have to buy a special steriliser iyswim?

You can get microwave steriliser bags from Medela, I find them really useful :)

Thanks all!
Just wanted to check I wasn't going to morph it by microwaving, as it wasn't cheap!
About to investigate steriliser bags x
