Fridge hack for breastpump

Question

Hi mummies, anyone using the fridge hack after pumping for your newborn? Is it safe ? And usually after how many pumps do you wash ? I haven’t deliver my firstborn yet but thinking of doing this for in between late night pumpings. Will the residue from the previous milk go bad inside the pump? Since we wont be washing it and will continue to the next pumping session. As i heard some say its not safe.#FTM

i do use the fridge in the office instead of sanitizing often while working

yes, it’s safe. i used it for my kid and he’s a healthy toddler now. for me it’s not how many pumps but rather i wash by the 20th hour after first use. i start using new set at first motn pump and wash at last pump of the day. the residual milk won’t go bad if you store in the fridge. all boils down to personal preference and what works for you. just recommend not to do it longer than 24h
