After each use, how should I clean the pump parts and sterilize them, and how often should I do it?

Breast pump cleaning is about both hygiene and simplicity. Immediately after each use, rinse all parts that touch your breast or milk (bottle, cap, valves, diaphragm) with cold water, then scrub thoroughly with hot water and dish soap using a brush, rinse, and air-dry in a clean place. Once a week, soak these parts in boiling water for 5 minutes or use a steam sterilizer. Make sure parts are completely dry after sterilization — moisture speeds up bacteria growth. Replace any parts you see wearing, cracking, or discoloring right away.
