Reusing your own pump

[anna7602]

I tested my Medela PISA and the suction still works (tested it against my cheek, I wasn't trying to induce labor!). So now what? I will re-sterilize the flanges. Should I be buying new membranes? 

And what about the tubes? Do I need to do anything with them?

I replaced the membranes on mine and the tubing. Other than that, I just steam sterilized the parts (using the microwave steam bags) and called it a day.

I'm planning on using mine again if and when we have a second. I'll replace the tubing, membranes, and valves, keep the flanges but sterilize them.

This is my plan, too.
