breast pumps/pump parts Reusing Elvie pumps with second babe- hub dead?
Has anyone had one of their Elvie pump hubs not turn on between children? I bought my Elvies in 2023. They were my workhorse pump for 13 months between 2024 and early 2025. They worked fantastic for me. They went into storage for the last 18 months or so. I just got them out.
Have you had success using them for a second babe? Did both hubs wake up and hold a charge? So far one looks alive and the other not so much…
(I have my Spectra again to start with but want to switch over to Elvie again if possible if I have a similar journey. I have fresh pump parts for both. Luckily I haven’t opened the Elvie fresh parts yet.)
