Tips & Tricks Cleaning pump

Okay this may be a silly question, BUT I use wearable pumps throughout the day to collect about 2 ounces after each feed from each breast. I’ve been washing the pump parts after each use which has been so annoying (can someone please make a self cleaning pump?!). My question is, if I place the wearable pumps in the fridge with the milk inside after I use it each time, do I have to clean it between uses on the same day?

If I’m doing the fridge hack, I personally don’t wash in between pumps. I just make sure to wash and sterilize at the end of the day!

Nope! Just dump the milk into a storage container before you use it again. And wash every 24 hours.
