Spare parts for Medela mini electric pump

[AngelDog]

The motor unit on my Medela mini electric pump seems to have packed up. Does anyone know if you can buy spares, or do you need to buy a whole new pump? A quick google suggests you can only buy replacement parts for the smaller bits of the pump.

It was rather inconvenient too - first day back at work and I needed to express at lunchtime (I was missing 4/5 feeds). I've never been able to get the hang of hand expressing & it didn't work today. I looked like Pamela Anderson by the time I got home.

I tried to buy a replacement motor for mine and I couldn't find one anywhere. Your best bet might be to find a secondhand one so you're not paying through the nose for all the bits you already have.

Thanks, Amy. I'd not thought of second-hand, so thanks for the suggestion - I shall have a hunt shortly. :)
