Why is there low or no suction?Updated 11 days ago

If there's a loss of suction while pumping; seal between breast and flange might have “broken”

1. Pause pump.

2. Make sure that the diaphragm is assembled correctly; separate pump from collection kit.

3. Ensure diaphragm is back to starting position (non compressed).

4. Re-assemble pump to flange.

5. Align nipple with insert. 

6. Cover with bra, and unpause / start pump
