Acquiring and maintaining your breast pump parts is essential to your milk supply. First assess, the size of your breast flanges. The easiest way to get started finding the right fit is to look down at your nipple and your fingers at the same time. If your nipple shaft (not including the areola) is the size of your ring finger, start with the standard size flange which is usually 24-27 mm depending on the brand of pump. If it is smaller like your pinky finger, use an insert like the Flexishield in the standard flange. If you nipple is wider like your thumb, go up to a custom-sized flange. Then make sure you are replacing your valves, filters or diaphragms frequently. Maintain your breast pump by replacing valves once a month. White duckbill valves like the ones used with Ameda, Spectra, Avent and Hygeia pumps should be replaced frequently to maintain optimum suction. Examine the end for tears or warping if you find suction to be lessening. If your pump has a filter or diaphragm, replace once every 2 months. Hygeia filters and Spectra Backflow Protectors should be replaced every 2 months and Ameda diaphragms every 2-4 depending on how they are cleaned. Diaphragms should not be sterilized. Use soap and water only on this Ameda part.
