Pump not suctioning

[T84]

Starting to really panic now! My pump just isn't auctioning properly and my boobs are agony cos they need expressed. I've taken it all apart and sterilised and dried it out but nothing!

My medela swing did this after 3 days. It was something to do with the thin membrane part.

A friend lent me her avent hand pump and I got just as much milk with that and it only took a little longer. So put the medela back to Boots for a full refund! X

I quite often found that if my boobs were too full it took a lot of fiddling around to get the pump to suction. I found moving myself into different positions i.e. leaning forward, or standing up seemed to do the trick but it took longer to get it going than normal.

Also, every time I put my pump back together after sterilising I had to really push all the bits together as hard as I could.
