In this blog you will find all of the common consumables needed for your pumping journey.
What's a consumable?
These pieces will need replacement due to wear and tear. Over time the consumable may lose its effectiveness and you may find an unwanted decrease in your milk supply due to poor removal. If you haven't changed anything in your routine, your cycle hasn't returned, you're removing milk regularly and still stumped what may have caused this dip, check your pump parts!
Will you need to incorporate all of these pieces shown into your pumping set up?
No, depending on your pump and flange arrangement you might be using a wide neck adapter, narrow neck adapter, long stem back flow protector or short. Below are additional notes to help guide which parts are for which application and how often they need replacement.
