If you are choosing to breastfeed your baby, you realize the health advantage you are giving your child. If you are going back to work, of if you would just like to have a night out without the baby once in a while, you will be using a breastpump. Keeping breastpump parts clean and sanitized is a seemingly never ending task for pumping moms. Most breast pumps have many pieces to wash, sanitize, and assemble. If you are pumping at work, you’ll be using your pump multiple times a day. Cleaning and sanitizing the parts in between pumpings will take up a ton of valuable time. Some working, breastfeeding moms get discouraged by the tediousness of keeping their breastpumps clean.
