Hi ladies!
So I have a PISA. My daughter is 18mo old, so the pump is that old as well. I stopped BFing/pumping at 9mos, and cleaned my pump shortly after- I used the Medela steam bags to sanitize all the parts except the tubing. Then I just put them all in the PISA bag, and it's kind of been sitting out ever since. Like, I never put it in a box in the closet or anything...
So now I'm due with my next in late Feb 2013. My questions are,
1. Since I steamed all the parts but left them and the pump out, are they still ok to use for my next baby? Like sanitary & everything? *I should add that I battled w/ thrush w/ my 1st for a while, so I realllllly want to make sure everything is clean, etc.
2. Since I never cleaned the tubing, do I need new tubing? Is it too late to sanitize it in another steam bag? (I thought I heard u werent supposed to do that? Which is why I never did)...
3. Plz tell me I don't need a whole new pump!! I'm def down to get replacement parts if needed though. Thanks!
