• Check that all pump parts have been assembled
correctly and that the valve is positioned correctly.
• Ensure that the silicone diaphragm and let-down
massage cushion™ are fitted securely to the pump
body and a perfect seal is created.
• Make certain that the tubing connections and
control handle are firmly in place.
• Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and that
suction is being created.
• Relax and try again, as expression may improve
after practice.
• Refer to the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section
on page 14.
• You may be squeezing too hard. You do not need
to use all the suction the pump can generate.
• Try squeezing the handle more gently and
remember the 2-3 second pumping rhythm.
• Consult your health professional/breastfeeding
advisor.
• Remove and re-fit the let-down massage cushion
to ensure it is firmly attached and pushed far
enough down the centre of the funnel.
• Try leaning slightly forward.
