I posted about this same topic just last week. Scalding was one of the suggestions I gave to the mom, along with making sure all of her pump parts were squeaky-clean. It turns out that she hadn't been cleaning all of her pump parts as carefully as she should. It's certainly understandable for moms to try to save time wherever they can, or just plain forget some steps. It might help to go over "pump parts cleaning 101" with your client, to be sure she's not accidentally missing something important.
