2. Identify Replacement Parts: The kit typically includes a 21mm flange, a duckbill valve, and a diaphragm.
3. Assemble the New Flange:
   • Insert the duckbill valve firmly into the bottom opening of the 21mm flange. Ensure it is securely seated to prevent air leakage.
   • Place the diaphragm onto the top opening of the flange, ensuring a tight seal.
4. Attach to Collection Cup: Connect the assembled flange to the breast milk collection cup.
5. Connect to Pump Motor: Securely attach the entire collection cup and flange assembly to the Bellababy breast pump motor unit. Ensure all connections are snug to maintain suction.

For detailed visual instructions, refer to your original Bellababy breast pump manual or the manufacturer's official support resources.

4. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and the longevity of your breast pump parts. All parts of this replacement kit that come into contact with breast milk are dishwasher safe.

4.1. Before First Use and After Each Use

1. Disassemble: Separate all parts that come into contact with breast milk (flange, valve, diaphragm, collection cup).
2. Rinse: Rinse parts under cool running water to remove milk residue.
3. Wash: Wash parts in warm, soapy water using a dedicated brush for breast pump parts. Alternatively, place parts on the top rack of a dishwasher.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
5. Air Dry: Place parts on a clean paper towel or a dedicated drying rack and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using cloth towels as they may leave lint.

4.2. Sterilization (Optional, but Recommended Periodically)

Sterilize parts by boiling them in water for 5 minutes or using a steam sterilizer designed for breast pump parts. Always follow the sterilizer manufacturer's instructions.

Important: Do not wash or sterilize the breast pump motor unit. Only clean the parts that come into contact with breast milk.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after replacing parts, consider the following:

• No Suction or Weak Suction:
  • Ensure the duckbill valve is securely inserted and not damaged or torn.
  • Check that the diaphragm is properly seated and forms a tight seal on the flange.
  • Verify all connections between the flange, collection cup, and pump motor unit are snug.
  • Inspect the tubing (if applicable to your pump model) for kinks or damage.
• Milk Leaking:
  • Ensure the collection cup is securely attached to the flange.
  • Check for any cracks or damage on the flange or collection cup.
• Discomfort During Pumping:
  • Confirm that the 21mm flange size is appropriate for your nipple. Incorrect flange size can cause discomfort and reduce milk output. Consult a lactation professional if unsure about flange sizing.

If problems persist, refer to your original breast pump manual or contact Bellababy customer support.
