At The Breast Pump Store, we know how frustrating it can be when your breast pump doesn’t work as expected. Whether it’s a matter of suction, fit, or efficiency, every mom deserves a smooth experience. Here, we’ll walk you through common breast pump challenges and how to overcome them for a seamless journey.
Suction Troubles: Finding the Right Settings
One of the most common concerns is weak or inconsistent suction. First, check that all parts are connected properly and no tubing is loose. Sometimes, adjusting the pump’s settings makes a huge difference, especially with electric pumps. If you're still having issues, please contact us at The Breast Pump Store and we’ll help you troubleshoot your pump.
Comfort and Fit: The Importance of Breast Shields
If pumping feels uncomfortable, the shield size could be the issue. Using a shield that fits well can alleviate discomfort and improve milk flow. Many moms don’t realize that breast shields come in various sizes, so it’s worth experimenting.
Milk Flow: When Output is Low
Sometimes, output may feel low, even with regular pumping. Staying hydrated, and well-rested, and keeping stress at bay are essential for milk production. Also, a gentle breast massage before pumping can stimulate milk flow. And remember, the right pump can make all the difference. Check out our store’s selection to find a reliable pump tailored to your needs.
Maintaining Clean and Functional Parts
A clean pump is a well-functioning pump! Ensure all parts are regularly sanitized and replaced as needed to maintain suction and performance. Insurance often covers essential replacements, so ask us about any parts you might need.
