I hope to reuse my breast pump that I last used 3 years ago....and was wondering 1) if it was OK to reuse a breast pump and 2) if this particular one was adequate for relactation?

I assume that I should get some new parts such as tubing and other plastic pieces that might have deteriorated. Anything I should be concerned about the motor or suction?

I BF my son for a year and this pump was great back then (and was sold by the lactation consultant at the hospital), but I was wondering if I should invest in an upgrade but of course face the dilemma of paying for a new breast pump and wondering what my supply will be like (ie. the success of relaction).

Any info would be appreciated.

You can reuse the amada yes... the problem being.. if your relactating this pump tends to burn out. Its not good for relactation. I would suggest looking on ebay for a good used PIS. You can pick them up for good prices. Just clean it up good when you get it and sterilize the parts
