My sister gave me a manual Avent breast pump that she used a couple years ago. She also gave me a ton of Avent bottles and nipples. I read that it isn't safe to re-use breast pumps, but I'm thinking that's for electric ones only or for ones with a lot of small tubing. The breast pump my sister gave me has parts that look like they can be easily cleaned. Can someone confirm that its safe for me to re-use?
As for cleaning/sterilizing the pump parts as well as the bottles and nipples, is it enough to just boil all the parts in water? Do I need to buy a sterilizer to re-use them? What about just using the dishwasher?
Sorry, this is my first baby, so I have no idea.
