Jody,

Isn't Medela telling you exactly what you are already finding to be true?  The Pump-in-Style is not safe to share, even after replacing the kit.  In my opinion, it is a bad design, but Medela is not lying about its lack of safety-to-share.

I've seen that bright pink label.  It's too bad that moms don't believe it.  I've had women tell me that their doctor has said it's really OK to use their friend's pump.
