Considering the Use of Pre-owned Breast Pumps
Online forums are flooded with advertisements for used breast pumps or portable models. With prices significantly lower, about half the cost of new imported models, many mothers are inclined to make a purchase.
Many mothers believe that after buying a used breast pump, all you need to do is thoroughly sterilize the milk bottle and pump, and then the machine will be free of harmful bacteria. However, this is not true. When using a personal breast pump, the previous mother's milk molecules will infiltrate the parts that generate suction or the filter membrane and will be retained there. After the subsequent use, due to the suction force, the previous mother's milk molecules will be pushed into the new mother's milk, affecting the baby's health.
If you don't have the means to buy a mother's breast pump, you can visit hospitals or healthcare facilities to rent a breast pump. Because the breast pump used in hospitals is a specialized pump with a closed system, accessories do not come into contact with the pump's motor.
Alternatively, if you want to buy or use a used machine, it's advisable to purchase from reputable sources or from acquaintances to ensure quality. Guide for mothers on how to distinguish genuine Medela breast pumps
