Quick Answer
To keep feeding safe and your flow™ breast pump working well, replace worn or damaged spare parts as soon as you notice signs of wear. Follow the steps below to swap parts correctly and avoid common mistakes.
Why Regular Replacement Matters
Replacing flow™ spare parts isn't just about keeping things tidy. Worn teats or valves can affect milk flow, make cleaning harder, and even pose a safety risk if parts break. Checking parts regularly helps you spot issues before they become problems.
The flow™ spare parts range includes everything you need to keep your pump in top condition. If you can't find a specific part, contact the Vital Baby team for help.
Signs It's Time to Replace
Look for cracks, tears, or a sticky texture on teats. If milk flow seems slower or faster than usual, or if parts no longer fit snugly, it's time for a swap. Also replace parts if they've been boiled too many times and look cloudy or misshapen.
Step-by-Step Replacement Guide
- Inspect the current parts: Check teats, valves, and discs for cracks, tears, or discolouration. If any part looks worn or damaged, replace it before the next feed. If you see any damage, don't wait – replace immediately.
- Wash and dry your hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling new spare parts. Dry them with a clean towel to avoid transferring moisture or bacteria. Clean hands prevent contamination.
- Remove the old part: Carefully pull the old teat or valve off the bottle or pump. Avoid using sharp tools that could scratch the plastic or damage the connection. Never force a part – if it's stuck, soak in warm soapy water first.
- Fit the new part securely: Align the new spare part correctly and push it firmly into place. Make sure it sits flush and there are no gaps or twists. A secure fit prevents leaks and ensures proper milk flow.
- Test before use: After replacing, do a quick test with water or a small amount of milk. Check for leaks and confirm the flow feels normal. Testing saves you from messy spills during a feed.
