Should I Replace Parts on My Medela Pump?
Asked by H.H. from Washington DC

I LOVE my Medela Pump which I purchased before having my son in 2008. I used it for a year while breastfeeding him and now I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my second child....
Answers
- I dont think you will need to replace parts, I didnt have to with mine. I have a Medela too. Plus, replacement parts are expensive!
- I just gave birth two weeks ago after my twins were born in 2008. I haven't used my pump since June 2009 and I didn't replace any parts. It works just fine!
- I used mine with two kiddos and did not replace anything. (I think it comes with a replacement membrane (see Rachel D's answer).)
