I advised a client of mine with chronic thrush to boil her pump parts for 20
minutes at the end of each day. Her mother called me and wanted to know if
soaking the pump parts in vinegar  would have the same effect. She is
concerned that the integrity of the pump parts and bottles will break down,
and stated that her daughter has very little money.

Does anyone know about the effectiveness of this?  The mother (a former
nurse's aide) seems to think it would work, and thinks it would be easier on
her daughter.

Thank you,
Brenda Phipps, BS, IBCLC
