Do you always hand wash your bottles and pump accessories?
I am getting MAJOR dishpan hands here... in addition to my OCD hand washing.

Re: Do you always hand wash your bottles and pump accessories?
bottles yes.... the piece that covered my breast yes.... the tubing no.
keep a bottle of lotion next to the sink....
that's your best bet!
ETA: I just started recently running her stuff in the dishwasher, and I still do it VERY infrequently....
I def do it with her sippy cups - you aren't supposed to sterilize them....  I figure at least the hot water and the heat from the drying will get them somewhat sterile.

Re: Do you always hand wash your bottles and pump accessories?
I would run them through the dish washer if I was running it. I just put them in my bottle basket. Once I didn't and it fell to the bottom and melted, but other than that it was great because it saved me from at least one wash every once in a while.

Randi- how many pump parts do you have? I have 3 sets. This way, I only do one major wash at the end of the day.

OMG my hands are like sandpaper so gross! Glad Im not the only one. Yes I do hand wash bottles...and when I BF I hand washed some parts and whatever I could not (tubing etc ) would go into that medela bag.

Re: Do you always hand wash your bottles and pump accessories?
I hand washed everything for a LONG time. I don't remember exactly but I would say about 5 months. I always wore gloves because I'd use steaming hot water so that I didn't have to sterilize and with the gloves on I was able to tolerate the heat.
