As part of our goal of helping moms breastfeed, our hospital offers the free use
of Lactinas while mom or baby is hospitalized. In this way a mom with a baby in
NICU can begin pumping without waiting until her husband can get to the pump
rental depot. The problem I'm encountering is with the moms who stay for a few
days and need to sterilize their kits. I've been unable to get a good
arrangement going with the hospital sterilizer - am afraid it will take too long
to get the kit back. What do others do? Has anyone used a microwave system for
sterilizing pump parts? Do you boil things? Send them home with family
members?
I'd appreciate some ideas. Also - are you recommending 20 minutes of boiling?
That was my understanding, but others have been saying 5 minutes.
Also - I'm very happy you have the Webpages, but please don't assume we can all
access them as easily as Lactnet and stop posting here - I only accessed 2
Webpages last month, for very short periods of time, and my costs went up to
$65 (from my usual $25) so I can't afford them.
Re-cert test tomorrow - wish us luck!
