Used Medela Pump

Hi Ladies, I bought a used Medela pump from a friend. I bought all replacement parts for it, the tubes being the main concern. Even though I bought new ones, I think they should be sterilized. How should I do it? Im afraid boiling them will melt it and Im afraid to put it in the dishwasher with detergent and get soap chemicals stuck in them. I realllllly dont want to go buy a sterilizer. And do you sterilize them often? I dont know! Any thoughts?

Medela Manual Breast Pump

Hi, we were going to buy an electric, but spent too much on the baby clothes and decor. So now I have this manual one. The baby isn't born yet, but I heard you could "practice." The baby is due in 3 weeks, I have a 4 year old, but she didn't breast feed. I'm nervous. Any tips on how I can be successful? Thanks for any tips.
