I have a question for the wise people here. Does this squeeze bulb not
come off the rest of the pump? If it does, why is it not cleanable? I
would think that scrubbing with a "bottle brush" of some sort and
boiling in water (I mean isn't it made of latex like bottle nipples?)
would do a good job cleaning it. I have been telling moms about the
dangers of it, of course, but still am wondering personally why this is
such a big danger...why it's impossible to clean it properly!
Thanks!
