I've just dug my hand held medela pump out...but dont seem to have kept the instructions. Am I right in thinking it can't go in m/wave steriliser. I know for DD i boiled it for 5-10mins...and as I have a m/wave steriliser I presume therefore it can't go in the m/wave, otherwoise thats how i would have sterilised it with DD instead of boiling?

HI HC
I have the electric Mini medela pump and I put mine in the microwave steriliser. (Not the electricxc bit os coures the horn and the bottle
I think you have to watch for the little rubber flap part IYKWIM as I think this can perish.

I mwave mine too but the instructions just say wash with hot soapy water and rinse well. There is a pdf of the manual online somewhere, I think I just searched for the make and model and it came up.
