I absolutely understand why this is necessary for many people! I had to use it sometimes too. There is a range of risk in using this method, but it will never be risk free nor as safe as a complete wash between uses.

Replying to @_jennijennjen #greenscreen breastpump parts and other infant feeding items (bottles, cups, syringes) all have the same feeding guidelines. The risks of deviating from them are small, but could be serious for baby. It is not your fault if you did not know the guidelines! I want to educate parents so they can understand and consent to the risks they take.

Though the milk bank was strict about hygiene for all the milk pumped after i signed up, they were happy to accept milk from prior to then even though I had done things like keep milk for 5 days in the fridge, use the fridge hack for pump parts, not sanitized pump parts regularly… Since the sample I submitted from that time passed their bacteria screening it was all good! Had it not passed they would have asked that I implement the new protocols and submit another sample.
I was happy to do all of this and more if they had asked!
I have a chronic helth condition and take presciption medication that is safe for breastfeeding, even NICU babies. I did have to reserve back milk pumped when i took Benadryl! I have a severe allergy and luckily track all my exposures and was able to pull milk from those days.
Moderate caffiene consumption was fine. No alcohol.
Screenings were all very easy to complete and staff was super supportive and friendly!

Replying to @coracastle please dont feel bad if you did not know this! We all do the best with the information that we have.
You can use a wash basin, mixing bowl, large tupper ware, really anything that you can remove and fully sanitize. I recommend keeping your basin for only this purpose, i bought a wash basin from the Dollar Tree for this!
There are a lot of guidelines that vary widely for milk expreasion and storage safety, and some arent based on scientific evidence. Some are lax and some are overly conservative. I see this guideline as evidence based, reasonably cautious, and very achievable for the average person.

Replying to @txdimples do your best to ignore the video game sounds in the background 😅
As always its up to you to figure out what works best for your family! Is this small risk acceptable to you?
Consider: if your baby healthy and term? Would chilling milk prior to adding it to your “pitcher” prevent you from saving your milk at all or make it very difficult? Would it be easy to do? What else might influence your decision?

There will always be bacteria in breastmilk, and storage will always pose a risk of increasing the amount and growth of harmful bacteria therein. I will never tell you what choice to make, as i can never know truly whats best for you or your baby. Know the risks you take and do your best to reduce them when possible.
