after the replies to my recent post about electric breast pumps i've bought a medela swing one today and have been reading the instructions.

this is a silly question but how do i clean the connector bit - the one between the breastshield and the valve etc?

it doesn't seem to mention it in the cleaning instructions and i can't figure out if it is safe to be sterilised as per the other parts that come into contact with the milk.

just trying to work out what needs to go into the steriliser and what doesn't!

thank you!

I used to clean it in exactly the same way as everything else, wash in hot soapy water and then chuck it in the steriliser.

Yep as bedhead has said I washed it and chucked it through the steriliser!

Yeah - that's what I do too. It can be tricky cleaning it out, as you can't get a brush inside it, so just make sure you swill it in hot soapy water really well, and pour some water through it. xx
