It was easy to air that out though. I called Medela once cause I accidentally sterilized the tubes and they sent me new ones right away! purrpletulips on "Have you ever gotten milk in your pump tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-milk-in-your-pump-tubes#post-401015 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:14:17 +0000 purrpletulips 401015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never had that happen with DD but was using a Lansinoh so it can't happen. Have a PISA this time and so far lucky enough to not have this happen. kokobee on "Have you ever gotten milk in your pump tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-milk-in-your-pump-tubes#post-335411 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:12:14 +0000 kokobee 335411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes! especially when i wasn't paying attention and the milk overflowed. i used to squeeze drops of rubbing alcohol into the tubes and let the pump run to dry the liquid out. mrsmenow on "Have you ever gotten milk in your pump tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-milk-in-your-pump-tubes#post-335359 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:54:52 +0000 mrsmenow 335359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never did with DD and I BF for a year.

Single. Time. I. Pump. It is infuriating and one of the reasons I don't recommend the Medela pumps anymore. I've heard that Purely Yours can't get milk in the tubes. autumnlove on "Have you ever gotten milk in your pump tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-milk-in-your-pump-tubes#post-335337 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:48:30 +0000 autumnlove 335337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hmm, I used an Ameda so this wasn't possible! Is it easy to clean the tubes?

I always pump while working at my desk so I don't pay attention. I must have leaned forward too much and the milk went into the tubes! Has that ever happened to you?
