How does this relate exclusively to sharing pumps -- it seems to me that if I
saw black spots from my own milk in the tubing, I should assume milk has been
backing up and bacteria may be formed -- is my bacteria okay but my friends
not? That doesn't make any sense -- I used the pump over 2 years ago and
plan to use it again, but surely if anything got into the motor, it wouldn't
much mater at this point whose milk it was -- it would be bad. Maybe I
should contact Medela and ask them what to do?? Any thoughts?
Please email to me in addition to Lactnet, as I am not getting to all the
messages lately. Thanks.
