Are used pumps OK?
Most doctors and pump manufacturers will tell you that it’s not a good idea to borrow or buy someone else’s used pump. Why? Because bacteria and viruses from the previous owner can get trapped inside the pump. These germs can be difficult to get rid of and can be potentially hazardous to your baby’s health, even with thorough and repeated sterilization and cleaning. There are some hospital-grade pumps which are meant for multiple users, each with their own accessory kit.
