Are portable breast pumps easy to clean?

Yes, provided you follow the manual. Do not wash or immerse the motor. Clean milk-contact parts after each use, then air-dry thoroughly.

Plastic and glass care

• Sterile single-use bags: Do not rinse before use. Discard after use as directed.
• Reusable bottles and containers: Wash before first use and after each use. Ensure parts are fully dry before storing.
• Flanges, valves and seals: Wash with warm soapy water, rinse well and allow to air-dry. Replace if warped, cracked or loose.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh cleaners that can damage plastics.

When should I consider getting a portable breast pump?

• Before baby arrives: Practice assembly and find a comfortable setting so you are ready from day one.
• Returning to work or studying: A portable pump helps maintain supply and flexibility.
• Managing engorgement or latch issues: Use as advised by a healthcare professional or lactation consultant.
