Q: Should I clean my breast pump after each use?
A: Breast pumps should be cleaned thoroughly between each use. Wash your hands before pumping, and take care to keep the containers you are going to store your milk in very clean. If you are pumping for a sick or premature baby, use extra care in collecting and storing your milk.
