I just used for first time.
For those who have it:
Do you clean the tubing after every use?
After cleaning how did you store pieces?
i was thinking of putting in zip lock baggy?

Re: medela pump style advanced??
I do not clean the tubing after each use. I have been using the pump since August and have only cleaned the tubes twice. You should clean them if milk gets into them though. If there is just condensation, I let the pump run until it dries out.
I keep the parts in a baggie. Do you use the Medela microwave bags to clean the parts?

I never heard of this, what exactly are they (the microwave bags?)
I've been using mine since July & truly just let them run for 2-3 min. after I'm done after e/ use. There is condensation inside though

Re: medela pump style advanced??
In the 11 months that I used mine, sometimes up to 5x a day, I only cleaned the tubing probably 5x. I never stored the parts in a baggy because I would think that cuts off the air from helping to dry out the parts, including the tubing. The tubing often had condensation inside even after trying to run it dry.
