I'd also get new nipples for the bottles, mainly because I find it really difficult to get them completely clean so I plan to just toss them all once we're done with bottles. The hard plastic pump parts and bottles themselves, I'd totally reuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929260 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:01:53 +0000 jetsa 1929260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: new membranes are less than $10 I think that is totally worth it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929259 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:01:48 +0000 Adira 1929259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: If you have a Medela pump, I'd probably use new membranes, just because that's an easy upgrade and those are easy to tear. But I probably wouldn't bother with buying new tubing or flanges if what you have currently works (and you don't believe there's any mold issues)!</p> <p>I'm planning on using my Avent pump more this time around (it seemed to work better for me than my Medela) and it's a closed system pump, so I'm not concerned about needing new parts for it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929255 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:59:20 +0000 avivoca 1929255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I was going to use the same pump, I would buy new membranes, tubing, and duck bills. I would reuse my bottles/nipples and just sanitize them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929252 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:57:30 +0000 HappyBaker 1929252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @mrs. tictactoe: @jetsa: And thanks for saving me a LOT of money by talking me off the ledge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929248 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:56:50 +0000 HappyBaker 1929248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so I am crazy then :-) I have it in my head that my pump will work better with new membranes parts but I don't think that is actually true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929243 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:54:55 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1929243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to switch to glass bottles and since I pumped mostly in to the playtex drop in liners, I will need to figure out another way to store the milk. But I plan to reuse the flanges and tubing and all that stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929240 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:54:33 +0000 Adira 1929240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm buying new nipples for the bottles, but that's it! Same pump, same pump parts, same bottles. I'll sanitize everything before baby uses it, but I'm not buying all new stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929236 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:53:18 +0000 jetsa 1929236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not buying any of it new. I'll sanitize before baby gets here. I figure its just like dishes and you reuse those day to day and family member to family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-new-pump-parts-bottle-parts-for-baby-2#post-1929231 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:52:08 +0000 HappyBaker 1929231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason I have it in my head that I should buy new pump parts / shields, and bottle nipples for baby #2. I was planning to reuse the same bottles themselves (just regular Medela bottles), but now that is starting to skeeve me out as well! </p> <p>What did you do for #2? </p>
