i have a "first years" pump and i boil water and dump the pieces in for a good 2 minutes then lay them out to dry on a clean flour sack-like towel... will this disinfect it enough? all the pieces come apart so all the little crevices are easy to get to.
Answer
To sterilize by boiling, you're supposed to submerge the pump parts and boil them for 10 full minutes. Check this out:

Cleaning Your Breastpump
The following is considered adequate for cleaning of breastpump parts if your baby is healthy: Sterilize all pump parts that will come in contact with breast or milk before the first use unless your parts came in a sterile package. Sterilizing can be done in a hot dishwasher (water temperature greater than 140 degrees) on the top rack or in boiling water for 10-20 minutes. After each use, wash these same parts in hot, soapy water and allow them to airdry or dry them with a clean paper towel if a faster drying time is necessary. Every third to fourth use - or at the end of a work day - sterilize these parts again. Electric and microwave sterilizers provide a faster, more convenient method of sterilizing breastpump parts; however, some pump manufacturers (including Medela) do not recommend this route of sterilization and will not guarantee their pump parts if sterilized in this way. Any part that does not come into contact with breast or milk does not need routine cleaning or sterilization. This would include any tubing that may be used with the pump. Tubing only needs to be cleaned if milk enters it. Then it should be boiled for 10-20 minutes. Following sterilization it is also recommended to "shoot" rubbing alcohol down through the tubing to hasten drying and prevent mold and mildew growth. Any parts of your breastpump which require routine cleaning and which can be separated should be for each cleaning. Note: If you or your baby are being treated for thrush, it's recommended that daily boiling of all breastpump parts that come in contact with breast or milk take place.

Bright red breasts while partially pumping?
Bgirl92
So tonight I undressed to get in the shower, and when I looked in the mirror I noticed that from the top of where my breasts began all the way down to where they end, my breasts were bright red as if sunburned.
This really freaked me out, as it's not something I notice but just looking down at them.
I am mostly formula feeding my baby, and only pumping about twice a day because of problems I had with dehydration. Other information is sometimes my boobs REALLY itch or occasionally I will get shooting pains in my nipples. My boobs are NOT hard like a rock.
So I guess I'm just wondering if it's normal to get completely fire red boobs when the rest of my body is regular skin color. It's not red right after I pumped, the last time I pumped was about 10 hours ago.
Has anyone ever had this happen before and do you know what caused it? Is it something I should be concerned about?
Answer
The bright red breasts could be due to increased vascularity. No, you dont need to worried about this.
