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.
