xp: question about using pump for 2nd child

Susie2005

  

Hi.  Wondering if anyone has any advice or info. 

I BF my son for 14 months.  I used my pump (Medela PISA) 2-4 times a day, 3-4 days a week for about nine months. 

Assuming all goes as planned, I would like to do the same with this baby.  Do I need to buy new pump parts?  Tubing, valves, membranes etc?

When I last used it (last March, I think), it seemed to be working as well as it had when I started. 

Thanks for any advice.

I didn't buy anything new when I used mine for the 2nd child.

I haven't pumped much at all with #2 (maybe 5 times, he wouldn't take a bottle) but I had just happened to buy all new before I stopped pumping for #1.

I don't think I would have replaced everything, maybe the membranes and the tubing if it looked like it needed it.

I got new everything except the tubing because mine looked fine.  I got the new sheilds and bottles and stuff mostly to have a second set, I used both the old and new.  I didn't reuse any membranes though, got all new for those.

Not sure about #2, but I gave my pump to my bff, and was advised by a nurse that the tubing and membranes should be replaced. No harm in replacing them All relatively inexpensive.

I didn't replace anything. It never occurred to me to do that.
