Can you reuse breast pumps?

[AliyahBlake]

I used a Tommee Tippee manual breast pump when my daughter was a baby - this was 3 years ago. I still have it and was wondering if anyone would know if it's ok to reuse it so far down the track as I'd like to start expressing milk for my 8 week old? I'd like to reuse it, but if I need to get a new one I will.......it's just that they can be pretty expensive!

I've just taken it out of its bag and it all looks ok - probably needs a good wash and sterilise though.

Yes, they're fine to reuse, so long as they're clean.

If you have parts that need replacing on it, most companies make replacement parts - you can do an internet search....

You certainly can if it is clean. The one I was using was used by my sister,cousin then me and now my bestie. Definately got the monies worth out of it...lol

Cool thanks girls - it all looks ok so I guess I can express to my hearts content! ;)

I did with my pump. I just gave it a good soak and sterilised it. Its safe :)

I reused mine too - haven't had any problems.
