I just get a little twitching about my malpractice insurance if I am  
suggesting a patient/client do something that departs from the manufacturers  
guidelines.  So, I use my favorite LaLecheLeague phrase, "...in the case  of...many 
mothers find..., however, the instructions from the manufacturer  directs you 
to do this".  I also tell them to call the manufacturer (who  iften tell them 
something totally different than waht is in their product  guide). This is very 
time intensive for us. I do demonstrate the  assembly of breastpump kit parts 
and am clear about what needs cleaning and  that people make different 
choices based on their comfort level.  If they  still are concerned, I suggest they 
call their Peds. office to talk to the  person who helps with  answering all 
those questions.  Imagine a  parent, tired as they all are, asking a clerk in 
Babys R Us how to clean  something they sell.  I doubt they would do much but 
shrug their shoulders  and I doubt they would be held resposible even if they 
did give  information.  
Lastly, I have to also remember to mention that the first  thing to do is to 
wash your hands. 
Regards,
Jeanne Rago
