Breast Pump Recycling

Sharing or reusing “single-user” breast pumps is not recommended due to safety concerns. These pumps are designed for personal use only, and their design can allow milk to seep into the motor, creating a risk of bacterial growth and contamination. Additionally, the motor’s performance may decline over time, potentially affecting milk supply without the user realizing it.
