Babies on the Brain

My pump broke

:(

The little tip that you plug the tubing into on the motor part broke right off.  It fell off the couch earlier and I guess that is when it happened.  My dh rigged it up to be functional tonight, but there is no way it is going to hold up long term.  I wonder if it can be repaired for any kind of decent price.  At least I can use it tonight.  Nursing is going better, but it still isn't great.  I still pump at least 1/3 of the time and with me going back to work at 12 weeks, I am going to need to easily be able to move my pump around.

  • Oh no!  That sucks!

    What kind of pump do you have?  Can you call the company and order another part?  I did this when the cord for my Avent pump broke.

  • Is it a Medela?  I've heard they have good customer service.  That sucks mmkaye.

    It is a Medela PISA.  I am hoping all the rumors of good customer service I hear are true.  My dh can rig it up to work with a small piece of plastic tubing and since the milk doesn't go through the tubing, I am okay with that.  But I really need it to be easy to transport to and from work when I go back.

    Keep your fingers crossed that it is fixable.  I am hoping that you can take the faceplate part of the pump off and replace that tip fairly easily.

    Woot!  From what I was able to deduce online that is the faceplate and it is replaceable and it looks to only be 8 bucks plus 11 shipping.  So now I just have to be super careful not to take the tube off until I can get the replacement part.

    Thanks.  He had a much better day yday than he had been having darned growth spurt.  He is a fairly good baby overall.

  • The same thing just recently happened with my PISA. Did you get the extended warranty? Contact the manufacture because they should overnight you a new pump.
