FAQs

How often should I replace these parts?

It is generally recommended to replace membranes every 2 to 4 weeks depending on how frequently you pump, or sooner if they show signs of wear.

Will these work with my Medela Freestyle?

No, these specific valves and membranes are not compatible with the Medela Freestyle model.

Are these dishwasher safe?

While they can be cleaned in a dishwasher on the top rack, hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the silicone membranes.

What happens if I use a torn membrane?

A torn membrane will break the vacuum seal, leading to poor suction performance and potentially inefficient milk expression.

Do I need to replace the valve and the membrane at the same time?

You should replace the membrane whenever it shows wear, but the plastic valve housing generally lasts longer. Replace the valve if it becomes cracked or loose.

Troubleshooting

Pump has low suction

Check the membrane for tears or gaps. Ensure the valve is pressed firmly onto the breast shield.

Milk is not flowing into the bottle

Verify that the membrane is lying flat against the valve. If it is stuck or bent, remove and reattach it.

Valve falls off easily

Ensure the connection point on the breast shield is dry and free from residue. Replace the valve if the plastic has warped.
