Editor’s note: Be sure to check out the free wet bag special Snugabell has going on and you don’t want to miss the giveaway for Leakies at the end!
Ask a Pumpin’ Mama and she’ll probably tell you how much space it takes up when you lay out a whole array of pump parts — bottles, lids and flanges — on the kitchen counter. We all want to make sure everything stays clean and safe for our babies, but how much cleaning is enough? Let Snugabell help you pump like a pro!
Save the suds for the end of the day. Especially if you’re at work all day or pumping multiple times, washing up after every use can turn into a drag pretty quickly. Lucky for us, a quick rinse before storing in the fridge in between sessions is more than enough to keep everything clean and ready to go. A good wash with hot, soapy water at the end of the day is all you need.
Don’t fret about sterilizing everything. Unless your baby is brand new or has compromised immunity, a thorough washing with hot, soapy water should be all your pump parts require. In fact, more severe cleaning — like boiling, for example — can even compromise and damage the plastic. No need!
Use a wet bag. Whether you’re pumping at work during the day or just need a place to drop your wet pump parts between sessions at home, it’s hugely helpful to have a waterproof washable bag to get everything from point A to point B. You won’t want those rogue milk droplets accumulating on the sofa cushion any more than you want them soaking into the nooks and crannies of your pump bag. Solve the problem with a couple of handy, machine-washable wet bags to catch all your gear.
Speaking of wet bags, Snugabell is giving away a whole bunch of them right now! To celebrate our SUPER exciting collaboration with Destination Maternity and A Pea in the Pod, we’re sending PumpEase customers one of our fabulous Wet Bag absolutely FREE. Details here!
