It's one of the small, soft milk-path parts that does a big job: the valve stretches and releases each time the pump motor pulls at it, which helps create the suction that draws milk during a session, while helping to prevent milk from flowing back into the pump. Keeping a fresh valve on hand is the simplest way to keep your pump working the way it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from durable, BPA-free, food-grade silicone, it's designed as a wear part — the kind of spare you'll want to rotate through regularly rather than a one-off replacement. If your pump has started to lose suction, a worn valve is often the first thing worth checking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilicone valves soften and wear with use, and the flaps can develop a small hole over time.
