jstn,
Now, I have red/pink/brown discharge everyday and some contraction but they are not regular though some of them are really hurt and last for at least 20 seconds. So, I'm sort of waiting.
So, you can keep the pump in the box first and see if there's any supply from hospital. Last time, the nurse provides me a pump (hospital style) and persuade me to start pumping to stimulate milk production. Then, my son had jaundice and needed to do photo-therapy. So, the nurse gave me some bottles to store the milk (all are Medela). Then, when the hospital discharged us, we got a whole bunch of nipples, bottles, wipes, diapers and formula. Therefore, you can see if your hospital would provide these before buying extra.
For cleaning the bottles, I use a little bit of regular detergent to clean the nipple as well as the bottles and the other parts (I use Dr. Brown bottles - a lot of parts to be cleaned), brush all the parts clean and rinsed them with warm water. Then, put all the parts on to a rack to let them dry. For pump, I would disassemble all the parts and wash them with a little bit of detergent or hand soap. Then, I will put all of them into the steam bag (Medela), put some water inside and microwave the whole bag for a few minutes. Afterwards, pour the water, take out all the parts, let them dry on a rack or dry them with kitchen towels.
