Medela PISA users - question for you

kickenb

I had to put 9 oz bottles onto my Medela when I pump.  Now that I am back at work, I pump 7 oz from each side the the 5 oz bottles weren't cutting it anymore. 

Is it just me or do the 9 oz bottles not provide as much suction?  I do still use the 5 oz ones that came with it at night since I don't pump as much breastmilk at that time.  It just seems there is more suction with the smaller bottle.  I even have the dial turned all the way up when I use the bigger bottles.

Does anyone else ever experience this if you use bigger bottles?   I just hope it doesn't cause my supply to decrease.

At home I use 8 oz glass bottles to pump into and the 5 oz. plastic bottles when I'm at work. I never noticed a difference and I always use the same suction/speed setting.

Are you pumping hands free? If so, maybe the extra weight of the larger bottles is reducing suction.

hmm... no, I've never noticed less suciton with different sized bottles.

I just bought the 9 oz Gerber bottles.  As long as they are small neck bottles they work.
