Hi
So I started to use my medela double pump in Jan when i came back to work(i have used it before that to store milk, but really began in jan) I was using it like 6-7 times a day and about 4-5 now. it seems like i dont get a good suction anymore and it sounds like it is hissing. i checked the tubes (they are new) and my membranes are new so could it be the motor...anyone experience this?
Thanks
Jenn
Re: FML...motor dying on breastpump?
I think there was a recall on some pumps bc of motor issues. I'd call Medela.

thanks...i will
Mine did that too, and was not part of the recall. I called them this morning and wasn't sure what to expect but they had THE BEST customer service - sending me out a new pump Monday.
I also EP since January and have used my pump faithfully, I figured the loss in suction was just me getting used to it - then I got a 2nd hand one to use at work and it was SO much stronger. And last night the whole thing coughed and stopped sucking. Luckily I have a back up, otherwise I'd be SOL - I can't manually express at all, and I tried a hand pump once and it hurt ridiculously with no results.
