Ugh...A Pumping Vent...And Lesson Learned

I pump 3x/day at work. Before I went to pump one last time, I saw little black dots inside a section of my tubing and realized it was mold

Now I have to throw out most of the milk I pumped today. I didn't remember seeing mold there before, and I don't want to even think about how many times I pumped while that was brewing in there

Anyhow DD seems fine and it's a good thing I kept backup tubing in my PISA at work. At least I was able to pump one bottle with new tubing.

Lesson Learned: Always check the tubing before you pump and it's a good idea to keep extra tubing around in cases like this!

I had that happen to me inside the yellow valve behind the white flap. I ALWAYS cleaned them after every use. It was gross. I bought all new parts for everything that touched it.
