Haven’t used my breast pump in 5 years (for my last child), is it still ok to use for baby that’s coming soon?

Question

breast pump in 5 years (for my last child), is it still ok to use for baby that’s coming soon?" /> 
Comments appreciated... 
What about the bottles and nipples? 
Or should I buy everything new?

Answer

I would get a new pump if possible because the old one most likely isn’t going to be as efficient as a new one. Plus if you’re in the US, insurance will pay for a new one anyways.  As far as bottles, you could use he same ones, but I would replace the nipples for them.

Answer

The pump itself should be fine. You can probably buy new tubing/other parts though and replace those for a lot less money than a new pump.

Answer

If it is an open system pump definitely get a new one. A closed system or hospital quality pump *might* be ok still.
