If it's not one thing it's another.
I have an Ameda Purely Yours and the whole time I've had it it's been "glitchy" when I first turn it on. It corrects itself once I turn up the suction but the first few seconds always hurt. I finally called Ameda about it and they sent me a new pump - yay!
I got the new pump today and was super pumped (ha) to try it out. It's not glitchy at all and has good suction at first but after a few pumps the clear silicone diaphragms (the cup looking thing) collapse on themselves and stop giving good suction. The problem is still there even if I change all of the parts out. What gives? I would totally call them but they are closed for the day. I'll call them tomorrow but in the meantime does anyone have any solutions for uncollapsing them? I'd like to get it working tonight because I think, or hope rather, that I'll get better output from this new pump.
I EP and I'll be so pissed if my sh*tty supply was due to a jank pump all along.
Re: F*cking pump, ugh.
It's all dry when I put it together but milk splashes up to the silicone cup during the pump making them wet. But there's not much I can do about that...
