coco, if you wanna try to handexpress but find it difficult, you can call lactation consultant Mrs Chee 94176366. she's the one who taught me how to hand express. her fone is usually on voicemail cos she's usually working, but if you leave her a message, she usually replies pertty soon.
keep up the good work of breastfeeding, you'll be very glad you persisted.

re: sterilising
As my child care nurse in Australia said to me " we are not performing surgery. There is no need to sterilise everything at every use"
AS Sarah said, Hot water and soap will be enough.
After the pump is clean, pop it in a self sealing plasitc bag and place it in the fridge until you next need it.
Also current thinking is that the increase in allergies in children may be related to our obsessive fear of germs!
