When many mothers use Medela breast pumps, they clean the tubes before use. However, during this process, some mothers find that there are water droplets and water vapor in the tubes. When this problem occurs, many mothers don’t know what to do. Now let’s teach mothers how to deal with this problem, and at the same time, let mothers better clean and disinfect the breast pump.
If there are water droplets or water vapor after using the Medela breast pump, first open the back cover of the breast pump, then remove the sponge piece inside, and adjust the breast pump to the lowest setting. Suck some clean water into the tube. The water will drip out from the back cover. Wait until the water droplets and water vapor are flushed away. Then turn on the breast pump again and vacuum for 15-20 minutes. The water droplets and water vapor will disappear. Pay attention to taking out the sponge and wait until it is dry before putting it back.
Under normal circumstances, catheters do not need to be disinfected. They only need to be cleaned daily. Disinfection is only required when necessary. When cleaning the catheter, first take out the tube, pour some warm water into the cup, insert one side of the tube into the water, and hold the other side in your mouth. Repeat several times to absorb water. During the process of the water level rising and falling, the cleaning of the catheter is completed. .
You can also insert one side of the tube into warm water, connect the other side to a breast pump, then take out the battery of the breast pump and place the breast pump on a clean towel. Then insert the battery and press the breast pumping mode. Water will pass through the hose to clean it. After cleaning, remove the hose and shake it dry.
