The pump shouldn’t grow mould unless moisture has entered the tubes and

for the membrane, I have no idea why they can’t use a non-porous one, and
when I asked I was advised they wouldn’t be changing it.

I can see them changing it when there is consumer/ public outcry from the
moms who've paid a lot of money to buy one then have to buy another one for
the next child, and they complain both in words and by taking their
business elsewhere.
Interestingly, a mom who seems to have some form of subtle motor skill
issues herself, showed me how she was pumping. She was putting the flanges on,
then leaning over the bed down to the floor ( high bed, pump flat on the
floor, rather than up on bedside dresser) to turn it on an off. So, when her
pumping session was over, she was leaning down to turn the pump off, and
milk was both spilling out onto the floor as the suction was broken, and
there was milk backing up to the connecting edge of the tubing. If I hasn't
seen this motor planning strategy with my own eyes, I would never have
imagined it. ( Initial consult, the pump was in the living room, and I showed her
how to place it so it would work well for her, now she had moved it to the
bedroom...) Ah the things we can't see, until we see them!
Peace,

selfish and nutritional/anti-oxidental reasons...:)
