Maybe babies r us will have the tubes? I'm not worried about the cost, I'd just rather have them sooner rather than later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubes#post-2064610 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:10:33 +0000 Cole 2064610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My medela steam bags have directions for sterilizing the tubes. If you don't have those maybe call medela. I think in your case I would use what I have but order new ones on amazon, they are only a few dollars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubes#post-2064599 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:08:30 +0000 LAZB 2064599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I use the tubes for my Medela pump that I used last year? I know they can't be sterilized like the rest of the stuff, so should I toss them?<br /> I am producing a lot, and baby girl is not eating all that I've got, and our pediatrician wants me to start pumping after feeding. I would like to use the tubes I have if I can.<br /> I also have tubes from the hospital that are just a few days old that I can use, but I have to somehow get the adapter off. If that's what I should do, any suggestions for how to get it off? </p>
