The Mommy Material Freely Silicone Valve is a replacement duckbill valve for the Freely Electric Wearable Breast Pump. 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.
Made 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.
When to replace it
Silicone valves soften and wear with use, and the flaps can develop a small hole over time. As a general guide from Mommy Material:
- Replace every month if you pump 3 or more times per day.
- Replace every 2–3 months if you pump less than 3 times per day.
- Replace sooner if you can see a small hole between the two flaps, or if your pump seems to have lost suction — a hole means the valve can't hold the vacuum as well during a session.
Caring for your valve
A little care goes a long way towards extending the life of each valve:
- Do not wash it in the dishwasher.
- Wash in hot, soapy water using a clean brush.
- Allow it to dry fully before reassembling your pump.
Compatibility
This valve is designed specifically for the Freely Electric Wearable Breast Pump. It isn't a universal part, so it's worth confirming you have the Freely pump before ordering.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Because valves are a low-cost wear part, many parents keep a spare in their pumping kit — so if one tears or your suction drops mid-routine, you're not waiting on a delivery to get back to expressing.
