We have the moms use a pink tub - one for her own use, not a new one at every use - to be used AT the sink, sort of like a liner. We also give them small packets of liquid castile soap. it cleans well, rinses off well, and doesn't damage the plastic like long term use of antibiotic soap can - according to the pump company.

The lactation consultant at my facility would like to know if it is acceptable to clean breast milk pump parts in hand wash sinks in patient rooms and common NICU hand wash sinks after use?  Pump parts are cleaned by mothers.  We have allowed this practice for years but are now considering if that is the best place to wash them.  Can members reply with what they do? 

Thanks,
Shirley Hamill, RN, BSN, IBCLC
