A friend of mine gave me her manual pump that was used a handful of times. I seem to recall reading somewhere that since you can sterilize all the parts in a manual... it's not as big a deal to get a preowned manual (since there is no motor, etc like in an electric one).
Any links, confirmation, hearsay on the matter?
I used an Avent Isis for like 5 years, and yes, very possible and very easy to sterilize. I used those steamer bags, but if you have a bottle sterilizer, you can use that. I also boiled it when I was out of bags. Look up whatever brand it is and see if they say it can be boiled first ;) or if there are any parts that should not be boiled.
Thanks!
Yep. What Susan said. It should be no big deal to sterilize a manual - and thus, there is less concern with hand-me-downs.
