Breast Pump

The pump provides a gentle, sustained level of One-Way airflow that continuously draws air away from the breast, which helps eliminate bacteria, reducing the occurrence of breast infections, pulsates and massages the breast; The more you stimulate the breast, more milk production and ultimate comfort

Milk is a prime breeding ground for bacteria so it's essential to sterilize all feeding equipment to kill germs.

You'll need to sterilize:

●All bottle-feeding equipment - bottles, teats and caps.
●Even if you're breastfeeding, you'll still need to sterilize accessories, such as breast pump parts.
●Soothers, teethers, etc.
●Weaning items, such as bowls, cups and spoons.

Which method should I choose?

Stem -  Easy to use. Simply add the required amount of water and plug into the mains. The water is then boiled and steams the content to kill the bacteria.

Microwave - Works on the same principle as steam sterilizing, boiling water to clean the equipment, however, it's usually quicker. Make sure you use a unit specially designed for a microwave and one that will fit inside your microwave.

Cold water - Sterilizing tablets or liquid combine with cold water to make a chemical solution which can then be reused several times within 24 hours. After sterilizing for about 30 minutes, rinse in cooled, boiled water.
