Haakaa pump sterilising after each use or no?

[anniz91]

Hi

I am getting conflicting information on sterilising a haakaa pump for breastfeeding.

Do you have to sterilise a haakaa pumo after each use or can it be done once daily (only cleaning it with hot soapy water after each use). Baby is 3 months.

Can anyone clarify?

You don’t have to sterilise anything for use with breastmilk if baby was born full term and healthy, a wash with warm soapy water is perfect.

Never sterilised mine, just washed in hot soapy water and air dried on a clean teatowel

Really? Urgh this could have safed me so much hassle ... just nhs website still says sterilise anything till 12 months 🙄

I’m in Ireland, advice here is what we go by based on the HSE’s advice.
