Proper care and maintenance of your breast pump are vital for ensuring its longevity and safe use. After each pumping session, disassemble the parts and wash them thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and allow them to air dry on a clean towel. For electric pumps, regularly check the tubing for moisture or blockages, as this can affect performance. Store your breast pump in a clean, dry place, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for storage and care. Keeping your breast pump in optimal condition not only ensures efficient operation but also protects the quality of the expressed milk, providing peace of mind for new mothers.
