Ameda Breast Pump Parts - Replacement Accessories
All Ameda breast pumps come equipped
with the necessary equipment and parts to make the pump function. These parts
may come pre-assembled or separately. When you first receive your pump, whether
from a store or by mail, the first thing you should do is to take an inventory
of your Ameda breast pump parts. Check the instruction manual to make sure that
everything is there.
If everything is present, you can
assemble the breast pump according to instructions. The pump should be in good
working order when you receive it. If, after repeated use, something on the pump
wears down, you will need to buy a replacement, though. Replacement parts are
much cheaper than buying a whole new pump. So, if you need to improve the
suction, replace damaged parts, or change a part out for your comfort, head to
www.ameda.com and look at their spare parts section.
Ameda offers the following spare
parts:
• Spare Parts Kit – This contains two lengths of tubing for connection between
the pump and the breast flanges, two silicone diaphragms for use in the flanges,
four valves, and one tubing adapter to help with connections. This kit is
perfect if you need to update more than one part of your pump.
• HygieniKit Reducing Insert – The
HygieniKit Ameda system has inserts that go with the breast flanges, and these
replacements help if the inserts are old or damaged.
• White Valves – These hook up to
the HydieniKit system. Replacement parts are cheap.
• Breast Flanges – If you need a
different size flange due to changes in your breasts or your old flanges aren’t
what they used to be, this part is for you.
Those are just some of the spare
parts. If you know what you need, it’s easy enough to find the equipment you
need on the website.
Keep in mind, though, that breast
pump parts include accessories as well. If you need an add-on for your breast
pump, you can find those at the website, too. Accessories include:
• Lansinoh Lanolin – This cream will
help reduce soreness and discomfort to your breasts and nipples.
• Cool and Carry Milk Storage Totes
– These bags have cooling elements to keep your pumped milk chilled until you
can put it in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Flexishield Aeriola Stimulator –
This accessory fits into the breast flange and works by stimulating your milk
flow. It’s designed to feel like the inside of a baby’s mouth, so it should help
with your let-down reflex and get the milk flowing.
Each mother is different, as is each
breast pump or breast-feeding accessory. Your needs will be unique, which is why
Ameda offers so many choices. Take the time to look at Ameda’s online store and
other stores – both online and at malls – to find the perfect parts for you.
When your pump is working correctly, it’ll be easiest on you as a mother because
you’ll collect the most milk in the least time. That way, you can feed your baby
and keep with your busy schedule, no problem.
