Beloved Lactnetters,
Tried to post this the other day and computer ate my
message.  Grrr.

I used my Pump-In-Style at work (12-hour night shifts)
and would sometimes get milk backflow into the tubing
when I would fall asleep during those "oh-dark-thirty"
pumping sessions!  The cones would drop forward into
my lap, and because of the angle at which they would
tilt, some milk would get into the tubing.  I still
remember the soothing sound of the PIS motor...zzzzz!
This was 1997 to 1999; did someone mentione Medela had
changed the design to prevent this since then?  Milk
would also get into the tubing if my collection
bottles got over-full (a common occurrence when
pumping for my eldest).  I found it helpful to set the
pump up on a counter top or table, higher than my
chest level, to prevent, or at least decrease, any
siphoning.

Just some thoughts before I hit the shower.
Carole
(missing high-risk OB *sometimes*, but NOT the night
shift!)
