One more reason I wish I could go back in time and get a Hygeia, but whatev.

Considering I replaced the tubing on the used one with the stuff they gave me in the hospital, I'll probably just give them both away to friends when I'm done with them. I use my SIL's flanges, I just sterilized them first, and have never had issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-going-to-do-with-your-breastpump-after-youre-done-with-it#post-624905 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:15:44 +0000 bunnylove08 624905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a purely yours and its a closed pump, i was going to sell it but my friend is pregnant so i'm going to give it to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-going-to-do-with-your-breastpump-after-youre-done-with-it#post-624815 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:58:49 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 624815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: yep.

This pump is on it's fourth owner, and still going strong. The hospital most of my friends will probably give birth at gives you a pack of Medela parts (tubing, flanges, etc) to use while at the hospital on the Medela Symphonys they have there, and the parts can be used on the Medela PISA, which I have. I'm thinking that the likelyhood of milk getting in there is MINISCULE, and even if it does, the amount will also be so small that it won't make a difference. If someone wants my pump parts, they can be sanatized pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-going-to-do-with-your-breastpump-after-youre-done-with-it#post-624611 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:09:48 +0000 mrskc 624611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Run it over with my car....

By then I feel like it will be several years old so unless I had a friend or sibling who wanted it, I guess let it collect dust? How long do they stay good for? </p>
