"My breast pump
is not sucking, it looses suction"
Medela
Breast Pump: Problem is the breast pump looses suction is
drawing milk into motor.
This will most probably be because the membrane has milk residue
and the Valve Head was chipped. The solution is to replace the Valve Head and
Membrane, and then the pump should have the correct suction
levels.
**Please Note: The breast pump valve and membrane is one of your
main points of suction, if this is either split, has milk residue,
is chipped or not sitting flat on the yellow piece (valve head) you
will not get the correct suction.
When this happens it causes the milk to go back up the elbow
through the tubing and into the motor. If this happens over a
period of time it will cause the motor to clog with milk and the
motor will end up dying on you. **

is still not working, please contact us
