Is it possible to use a second hand breast pump? Verified

If it is possible to sanitize the parts which the milk travels through, for example by boiling them, then it is safe to use a second hand breast pump. In any other case it is not hygienic and not advisable.

How long can I store breast milk? Verified

This depends on where you store it. At room temperature it will last 5-10 hours. In the refrigerator the milk can be kept fresh for up to 5 days or up 3 months in the freezer. I a deep freezer the breast milk will stay fresh for 3-6 months. After warming the milk it can be used for up to 1 hour. If the milk smells sour it is probably best not to use it.

What is the difference between a breast pump with an open and closed system? Verified

With breast pumps with a closed system, the milk does not come into contact with the mechanism and flows directly into the reservoir. With an open system the milk flows through the breast pump and then into the reservoir. Therefore a closed system is more hygienic and requires less cleaning.

Hello, I am using a Medela swing single electric pump, but how to clean the swing tube (hose)? Does it wash? Is it sterile? The inside of the tube evaporates, then milk escapes inside, which means that it is not hygienic, pipe cleaning is hardly mentioned in the user manual.

Good afternoon, I get the Breast Pumps from my sister-in-law: the medela Freestyle. The stock is about 6 years old and used for 1 child. I hear all kinds of stories about closed and open systems. Can I read this somewhere? Regards, Linda [email protected]

My Medela Swing pump lights up 4 times in quick succession after I press the button. However, the device does not start. Can you tell me what the problem is?

Hello, the breast pump does not trigger a dispensing reflex in my breast, which means that only little milk can be expressed. How can I change this?
