Essential accessories that you must have on hand to save your pumping time, and speed up cleaning. There are breast pump components that are a necessity if you need to simplify your breast feeding:
1. Extra Breast shields to attach to the pump saves you time. Cleaning and sterilizing can take a lot of time. Have an extra shield available whenever you want to feed the baby or pump milk is very convenient.
The shields are made of a soft silicon with a comfortable shape. It is important to select the right size.
2. Extra baby bottles are a must have accessory for storing baby milk.
You will need a variety of sizes because as your baby grows, more milk will be consumed. The bottles are very durable, made with a tough polypropylene.
3. The Connectors are important because they are used with the breast shields. Extra connectors that have been sterilized is a time saver.
4. Extra membranes and valves are needed and included. These are a high quality and the design mounts easily. There are two models of the membranes. One has a centered mount and the other has an offset mount. It just depends on your preference. Both work quite well, and are compatible with the yellow valves.
5. Extra Cleaning wipes are needed for disinfecting the parts of the pump. These have anti-bacterial properties. Extra is always helpful.
These wipes are delicate for sensitive skin and scent-free, and can also be used on the changing table or any surface for that matter.
