Replacing pump parts

The Midwife Mumma range of pumps is an essential part of your feeding journey. Like anything used daily, your pump needs a little care and attention to keep performing at its best. We recommend replacing your washable parts regularly to maintain strong suction and optimal comfort.

Over time, normal wear and tear can affect how your pump performs, even if it is not immediately obvious. Keeping an eye on your parts and replacing them when needed is a simple step that helps protect your milk supply and supports a smooth, stress-free pumping experience.

Why it is also important to continue servicing your new best friend?

  • To maintain optimal performance.
  • If you notice that your pump seems to have lost suction, the first thing to do is take a look at your parts, particularly the valves and silicone parts.
  • Inspect for wear and tear, fraying, stretching or discolouration.
  • Follow washing guidelines to get a longer lifetime of your parts.
  • Use only genuine The Midwife Mumma parts, as other brands could impact performance and will void your warranty.

Please see below an easy to read table to see a timeline to best suit your feeding journey.
