It was exactly the same as my Medela ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004736 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:43:11 +0000 Freckles 2004736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I bought it but only before I found out my pump broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004712 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:18:29 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2004712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I just bought from Maymom on Amazon (flanges and symphony tubing). I was nervous but the quality is excellent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004710 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:14:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2004710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: @yellowbird: @Freckles: have you bought replacement tubes before? The ones I'm seeing in Amazon are made by May Mom?! When I bought replacements for my Ameda they were all in Ameda packaging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004657 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:26:33 +0000 Freckles 2004657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New tubing is cheap, but you can also clean and sterilize the tubing. MrsBee had talked about it in an old pumping guide blog post.</p> <p>Eta: <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/14/cleaning-pump-parts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/03/14/cleaning-pump-parts/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004551 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:55:48 +0000 yellowbird 2004551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just buy new. It's pretty cheap on amazon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004548 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:54:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 2004548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt insurance will replace, but luckily new tubbing is pretty cheap! I would rather toss and replace than risk mold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004525 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:39:51 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2004525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ah, I see then I think you just need to get new tubing. I sort of doubt insurance will cover it, but it's not expensive to replace. You can always try and see if it goes back, but once you've lost full suction I think the pump won't work as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004496 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:24:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2004496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Little Misters Mom: I can see that milk got in between though so I'm afraid of mold forming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004492 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:21:36 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2004492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually clean the tubing with the connector still attached. I just run warm water through it (you have to hold it under the faucet at the right angle) and then do the lasso thing and run it on the pump on high to dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-tubing#post-2004489 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:19:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2004489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that have a Medela. Any luck removing the tubing to clean and putting it back together? I got milk in the tubing and need to clean it. But the end piece that goes into the flange is so tight I don't see how I can get it back into the tubing. </p> <p>Will they replace it for free? </p>
