I'd be more cautious with reuse of a Medela pump since you can't sterilize the inside of the pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387423 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 08:46:40 +0000 Pumuckl 2387423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That's the one I got for the same exact reason! I liked it since I had the right sized shields etc anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387393 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:48:21 +0000 MamaCate 2387393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a new pump through insurance since I WOH but I still use my old pump parts. It is so nice having multiple sets of things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387390 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:45:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2387390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: which one did you like? I was thinking of the medela one (harmony?) since I have medela bottles and everything already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387387 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:40:29 +0000 Adira 2387387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped a bunch with #1, but I just replaced the membranes on my pump for #2 and sterilized everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387382 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:26:08 +0000 Pumuckl 2387382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used my old pump parts but did get a manual pump that I never had with LO1 and loved using it for the occasional bottle that I pumped at home. Especially since I only feed one side per feed (alternating sides). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387305 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 22:36:08 +0000 Charm54 2387305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yeah one set was crystal clear, the other was cloudy. I'm sure it was fine but i chucked it and bought another spare set for around $10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387303 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 22:29:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2387303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: questionable how? It just looked funny?</p> <p>@futuremama: I don't anticipate pumping much this time either so I think I'd rather just use my benefit for a hand pump for times when I don't want a full pump but need to release a little (like at a wedding without LO). But the manual is so much cheaper of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387289 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 21:44:55 +0000 Charm54 2387289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EPed both girls and still just sterilized everything and reused it. I did throw out one tubing because it was questionable but everything else was 100% fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387271 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 21:12:10 +0000 MrsF 2387271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't pump much with DD so I just sterilized the parts and used the same ones for DS. Pumped at work for him for a year with no problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387264 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 21:03:02 +0000 CarrieLouWho 2387264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same question! I am re-using everything but got new tubing and membranes. I gave all the parts a good wash and sterilized as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387250 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 20:43:28 +0000 futuremama 2387250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't pump a ton with #1, but I plan on getting a totally new pump for #2 since it's free through insurance. Then, assuming nursing goes better this time, I can leave a pump at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-pump-parts-for-baby-2#post-2387243 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 20:31:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2387243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you didn't pump that often with your first baby, did you still get new pump parts for your second? </p> <p>I pumped occasionally with C, probably on average a few times a month for about a year. Have a medela pump in style (the generic insurance style). I imagine I will need new membranes but I'm thinking I can just use the same tubing and sterilize the flanges and other pump parts? I put the pump away about a year and a half ago. Don't plan to pump that often for this one either. </p>
