Breast Pump Parts Frequently Asked Questions
Maintenance & Care
How often should I replace breast pump parts?
To maintain optimal suction and hygiene, we recommend replacing parts for your breast pump every 90 days. Soft components like silicone valves and diaphragms can stretch and wear out over time, leading to a loss of suction.
Keeping a schedule for breast pump replacement parts ensures your pump performs at its best.
How do I clean and sterilize breast pump parts?
You should clean your breast pump parts after every use with warm, soapy water and air-dry them.
To sterilize, submerge parts in boiling water for 5 minutes or use a steam bag.
Be careful with silicone breast pump parts; while durable, they should be checked regularly for tears or damage during cleaning.
Can you put breast pump parts in the fridge between pumping?

Yes, most plans cover breast pump supplies through insurance on a monthly or quarterly basis (typically every 90 days). This ensures you can regularly order new breast pump parts through insurance to replace worn-out valves, tubing, and flanges without out-of-pocket expenses.
